Impact Fees
The district collects a system impact fee for the right to connect to the water or sewer system. The amounts of these fees vary by location, district, and type of facility. Impact fees are calculated based on square footage for residential, assessment of fixtures for commercial, and a combination of both for mixed use. The current schedule of fees and charges are available here.
Other fees that may be required prior to connection to the system could include plant investment fees, water storage fees, and inclusion fees. Please contact a customer service representative for more information on fees that may be applicable at 970-477-5451. All impact fees must be mailed or delivered to our main office at 846 Forest Road, Vail, CO 81657.
