The District is now accepting a  10% down payment on capacity fees for new construction at the time of plan review. In addition to the 10% down payment on capacity fees, the administrative fee, the inspection fee and the water time and material charges will be due at the time of plan review. Before a connection to the District’s system can be made, the remaining balance of capacity fees will be due.

*If actual time and material charges are less than $5,000 deposit customer will be refunded difference; if charges are greater than deposit customer will be billed accordingly. As of January 1, 2011, all new construction must have a fire sprinkler system. Fire line installation fees are dependent on the fire line size and will be in addition to the example above.

Each bathroom in excess of two requires additional sewer connection fees totaling $2,745.00 (1 s. unit = $2,745.00)

If the STPUD water main servicing your property is less than 6” in diameter your plans and fire line size letter/form must be submitted to our Engineering Department for review and recommendations before we can stamp your plans. This process can take up to two weeks.

When you pay your fees at our Customer Service Office, please bring the following:

1. A copy of the recorded grant deed.
2. All sets of construction plans for stamping. (The District will keep a set of site and floor plans for our files and fire sprinkler plans if your project is in the County.)

4. A check for sewer, water and permit fees.
