Utility Connection Incentive for Legacy Properties
Summary
When the city raised impact fees, homeowners switching from septic to sewer got caught paying the new $8,000-plus fee instead of the old $1,600 one. The new incentive program lets them connect at the old rate if they act within set windows through early 2027.
