Conserving Water without Bankrupting Water Utilities. Fees + Incentives for Developers.

Proposals for encouraging water conservation while not financially harming water utilities:

• Connection Fees for new users and new developments
  • Scale fees based on the size of their lot and house, the type of landscaping, and the efficiency of the property’s  fixtures
• Add financial water-saving incentives to connection fees

Case Study: Aurora Colorado

• Aurora’s connection fees provide incentives to builders to construct more water-efficient developments
