Due to state requirements attached to the low-interest loan received by the Hi-Desert Water District, the board of directors set a monthly rate of $41.50 for its residential sewer connection fee at its Tuesday night meeting. The board had originally estimated the rate would be about $36. The charge will be added to residential property tax bills. Property owners will receive a notice of the current rate, and have 45 days in which to comment, after which, the board will hold a public hearing prior to being asked to approve the new rate.
In other business, the directors agreed to increase the district’s reserves of recharged water in the basin’s aquifers by an additional seven to 10 years.
