1. La Contenta Wastewater Capacity Fees Increased by Nearly $6,000 per Single-Family Connection The Board unanimously adopted an ordinance raising the one-time wastewater capacity charge for new connections in the La Contenta service area from $15,902 to $21,719 per equivalent single-family unit (a $5,817 increase). The fee increase is driven by $23.4 million in capacity-related infrastructure improvements needed at the aging La Contenta wastewater treatment plant. Staff emphasized this ensures new development pays its fair share rather than shifting costs to existing ratepayers, and noted that successful grant applications could reduce the fee in the future.
