Tap fees cover the cost of establishing a new service or connection to LTWD’s distribution system and include costs associated with plant investment fees (PIF), installation fees, water resource fees, and raw water dedication requirements. 

Purchase of residential taps within multi-lot subdivisions developed after January 1, 2014, must have water rights dedicated and assigned to the lot prior to the lot being available for service and the installation of the service line and meter pit have been completed by the developer.  These residential taps in multi-lot subdivisions only require the Installation Fee portion that covers LTWD’s cost to acquire and install the meter and pressure regulator.
