Proposed Connection Fees <br /> Water Connection Fee <br /> Table 8 compares the proposed fee calculated under this approach by meter size to the existing capacity fee. Fees <br /> are levied per meter size.Meter size is a common approach for assessing water connection fees. This approach is <br /> popular because it is easy to administer and explain to customers. Using the meter size approach,connection fees <br /> are increased based on the size or capacity of the meter. The projected water connection fees shown in Table 8 <br /> below are calculated for each meter size using the meter capacity ratio normalized to the 5/8" meter size. For <br /> example,if a 1-inch meter has 2.5 times the flow capacity of a 5/8-inch meter, the connection fee will be 2.5 times <br /> higher.The City of Pleasanton currently installs meters from three manufacturers—Diehl, Sensus, and Kamstrup. <br /> New meters installed in the future will be either Sensus,Kamstrup,Master Meter,Metron Farther,or Metron <br /> Spectrum. These meters have different meter capacities for each meter size.Table 8 shows the meter capacities, <br /> resulting meter ratios, and proposed rates by meter size for each manufacturer. Table 9 shows the proposed water <br /> connection fees for N. Pleasanton Improvement District 2B are the same as the existing fees. <br /> WATER CAPACITY AND MISCELLANEOUS FEE STUDY 14 <br />
