Impact analysis
Waiving the fees would forgo $415,575 in SAWS revenue, which would otherwise need to be absorbed by the utility or other ratepayers.
Homeowners in the Villas at Timberwood subdivision benefit by avoiding thousands of dollars in individual connection fees.
General utility ratepayers could potentially subsidize infrastructure costs if impact fee waivers are granted without external funding.
