Section 3: Developer Services
Water Capacity and Connection Fees
Water Capacity Fees
A “Capacity Charge” is defined within GC 66013 as a charge for public facilities in
existence at the time a charge is imposed or charges for new facilities to be constructed
in the future that is of benefit to the person or property being charged. Capacity fees
ensure new development pays its fair share to connect to the system and does not cause
additional burdens to current customers. Capital and infrastructure costs required to meet
new demand/connections should be paid by those creating the cost to be incurred.
On July 1 of each year Water Capacity Charges will automatically increase in proportion
to the published 12-month increase measured in September each year in the Construction
Cost Index, unless the EVWD Board of Directors determines that such an increase shall
not be effective for the next succeeding fiscal year, or if the index does not increase or
change.
Water Connection Fees
The water meter connection charge is the charge for installation and materials between
the service angle stop and customer connection side within the meter box. Such regular
charge shall be paid in advance by the applicant. Cost varies based on market conditions
for the requested meter size and type. Service line connections to the main are separate
from this fee and would be an additional non-regular charge. Where there is a non-regular
charge, the District reserves the right to require the applicant to deposit an amount equal
to the estimated cost of such service connection.

Executive Summary
East Valley Water (District) engaged IB Consulting to update its capacity fees. This Capacity Fee Study Report
(Report) describes the approach, methodology, and technical analysis used to derive updated capacity fees
per California State Government Code, Section 66013 (GC 66013). GC 66013 allows an agency to charge
the estimated reasonable infrastructure cost to serve a new connection for which the charge is imposed.
The existing water capacity fee is $8,273 for a 3/4” water meter, with larger meters paying more for the
additional capacity/demand they place on the Water Utility. The existing wastewater capacity fee is $9,014
for one Equivalent Dwelling Unit (1 EDU)1, reflecting the wastewater facility design requirements of 245 daily
gallons of flow. Based on our analysis, the updated water capacity fee is $11,775 for a 3/4” potable meter and
the updated wastewater capacity fee is $6,486 per EDU. The updated fees recover each new connection’s
proportionate share of facility costs.
Annual Capacity Fee Adjustment
IB Consulting recommends adjusting the capacity fee annually to keep pace with inflation by applying the
Engineering News-Record Construction Cost Index (ENR). The District should also review its capacity
charges every five years, in conjunction with its master plan updates, to capture any significant changes and
ensure capacity fees remain equitable.

Overview
District Background
Located in the Inland Empire of San Bernardino County (County), the District comprises the entire City of
Highland, portions of the City of San Bernardino, and unincorporated areas of the County. The District spans
almost 18,000 acres and currently serves a population of around 107,000 through 21,471 meters. Water
sources include groundwater, surface water through North Fork water rights, and State Water Project (SWP).
All surface water and SWP are treated at Plant 134.
The District provides wastewater collection and treatment to the service area through 213 miles of pipeline,
4,400 manholes, 7 siphons, and 5 diversion structures. The collection system historically conveyed
wastewater flows to the City of San Bernardino but has recently transitioned to conveying wastewater flows
to the District’s new Sterling Natural Resource Center (SNRC).
As part of the District’s financial plan and rate update, the capacity fees are being reviewed and updated to
ensure new system users or existing users requiring increased system capacity pay their fair share of the
costs associated with the water and wastewater facilities required to serve them.
Capacity Fee
A "Capacity Fee" is defined as a charge for public facilities in existence when a charge is imposed or for new
facilities to be constructed in the future that benefit the person or property being charged. Capacity fees ensure
new development or existing users requiring increased system capacity pay their fair share of the costs
associated with the facilities.
Based on the requirements of GC 66013, capacity fees must be based on the "reasonable cost" to
accommodate additional demand from new development or the expansion of existing connections. In addition,
Proposition 26 amended the State Constitution in 2010, which redefined a "tax" as any levy, charge, or
exaction of any kind imposed by a local government. However, there were seven exemptions within
Proposition 26, including cost-based charges imposed for providing a service (i.e., capacity fees) so long as
such fees do not exceed the cost of providing the service. Therefore, the study summarized in this Report
connects the costs of facilities, the capacity of the water, recycled water, and wastewater systems, the
increased capacity gained from any expansions, and the updated proposed fees in compliance with the
Proposition 26 exemption.
Government Code section 66016.6 requires that, Prior to levying a new fee or capacity charge, the District
evaluate the amount of the fee or capacity charge. The evaluation shall include evidence to support that the
fee or capacity charge does not exceed the estimated reasonable cost of providing service, in accordance
with Section 66013. This Report meets the requirements of Government Code section 66016.6.

Capacity Fee Methodology
There are four primary steps in calculating capacity fees: (1) determine the cost of facilities and assets
recoverable through capacity fees, (2) incorporate any credits or adjustments to apply towards the total
infrastructure costs such as grants, existing debt obligations, unspent debt proceeds, and available funding
through previously collected capacity fees, (3) identify demand or capacity related to the facilities and define
the baseline requirements for a connection or equivalent dwelling unit based on planning documents, and (4)
apportion the net infrastructure costs equitably to various types of connections based on the demand placed
on the utility system.
Figure 1 – Capacity Fee Analysis
In addition to the four steps above, there are two primary approaches for calculating capacity fees: the "Buy-
In Method" and "Incremental-Cost Method." Selecting the best method depends on the unique circumstances
of the utility, existing facilities funded in advance of development, current and future capacity planned to be
built in the system, available funding, whether future facilities will be debt-financed, expected future growth,
and access to up-to-date planning documents/master plans. Careful consideration may be required to allocate
costs between existing and new customers and ensure no duplication of costs.
Buy-In Method
The basis of the Buy-In Method is to pay for existing facilities funded in advance of growth. This approach
ensures new development and expanded connections buy into the utility system’s existing facilities. The Buy-
In method eliminates any potential funding of existing system deficiencies as the District's current asset
inventory only reflects improvements to the system today.
Once the system value is determined, dividing the total value by the total demand derives the buy-in cost per
Meter Equivalent (ME2) for water and per EDU for wastewater. Demand is commonly used for system design
2 Meter Equivalent represents the average demand of a typical single-family residence within the District, equal to 609
gallons per day, as reflected within the District’s most recent Master Plan (Section 3-10). This average daily demand is

Value of Existing System
and planning. It is a primary driver for the system's current configuration and how it expands in the future. For
the wastewater utility, demand is measured in gallons per day (gpd) for the SNRC treatment plant capacity
and a cost per gallon of capacity is derived. The cost per gallon is multiplied by the daily flow represented by
one EDU (the District utilizes 245 gallons per day for facility design) to determine the amount per EDU.
Assignment of EDUs to a developing parcel will vary based on land use type and projected wastewater flows
and strength loadings. Figure 2 shows the framework for calculating the amount related to the buy-in
component.
Figure 2 – Buy-In Component
Incremental-Cost Method
The Incremental-Cost Method is based on the principle that new development should pay for improvements
required to connect them to the system, including the need for any additional capacity and/or expansions.
This approach is typically used when specific capital improvements are identified within planning documents
and required for growth. Projects associated with routine repair & replacement and Master Plan improvements
required to address existing deficiencies are excluded. Also, specific projects within the Master Plan may
benefit existing and new development. In these instances, new development only pays its proportionate share
based on the demand or capacity taken from these projects. Under the Incremental-Cost Method, growth-
related capital improvements are allocated to new development based on their capacity requirements. For
each utility, demand is measured in gpd and a cost per gallon of capacity is derived. For the water utility, the
cost per gallon is multiplied by the average daily demand of a single-family residence, equal to 609 gallons
per day, which is equated to the baseline demand of an ME. For the wastewater system, the cost per gallon
is multiplied by the daily flow represented by one EDU to determine the amount per EDU. Figure 3 shows
the framework for calculating capacity fees using the incremental cost component.
assigned to the base 3/4” meter. Larger-sized meters are assigned additional MEs based on the gallons per minute
(gpm) for flow when compared to the 3/4" meter at 30 gpm.

Hybrid Method
When there is a buy-in component and incremental-cost component used to update capacity fees, the
approach is commonly referred to as the Hybrid Method. The Hybrid Approach is utilized when the existing
system has available capacity and/or is substantially built while specific capital improvements within planning
documents are clearly identified and solely needed to serve new development. For this study, the updated
water and wastewater capacity fees are based on the Hybrid Method .

Capacity Fee Analysis - Water
Step 1 – Asset Valuation (RCLD Asset Value)
The first step in determining the capacity fee using the Buy-In Approach is to determine the value of the
existing system. System assets may be valued in a few different ways. Options include using: (1) the original
cost of the improvements (OC), (2) original cost less depreciation of system assets to account for the time
improvements are in service (OCLD), (3) replacement cost of the improvements by bringing the original cost
into today's dollars (RC), (4) replacement cost less depreciation which brings both the original cost and the
accumulated depreciation value into today's dollars (RCLD), and (5) a physical inventory and appraisal of the
system and plant components in terms of their replacement cost valuation. The most accurate valuation would
be a physical inventory and appraisal; however, this approach is often very difficult and cost-prohibitive since
a significant portion of the assets are located underground. The most common valuation technique is RCLD.
Using RCLD generates a reasonable approximation of the system value based on today's cost of the
improvements.
This study utilizes the RCLD method of valuing the system. RCLD valuation is the most equitable and
reasonable approach since it considers the time value of money and factors in the remaining useful life of
each asset. To accomplish this, the District provided fixed asset records containing the original cost of each
asset. Replacement costs were estimated by bringing forward the original costs to today's dollars to reflect
the estimated cost if a similar asset were constructed today.
The original cost of each asset was indexed by the annual percentage change of the 20-cities CCI, published
by the Engineering News-Record. For 2024, the CCI value is 13,358. Accumulated depreciation was also
indexed to maintain consistency with 2024 dollars. Subtracting the accumulated depreciation from the
replacement cost yields the updated RCLD and reflects service standards in 2024 dollars. Table 1
summarizes the water assets by category and shows the original cost, accumulated depreciation, replacement
cost in 2024 dollars, accumulated depreciation in 2024 dollars, and assets adjusted for the 2024 depreciation
(RCLD). Land values were not depreciated, and the replacement value is estimated by increasing the original
acquisition costs by a 2% inflation limit in-line with Proposition 13 constraints on assessed values. Water
Rights were also not depreciated because the water rights are owned in perpetuity by the District. A detailed
listing of water assets can be found in Appendix A.

Table 1 – Water Asset Summary
Step 2 - Asset Adjustments
It is also important to identify any adjustments to the RCLD total asset value. Special consideration may be
required when assets are acquired through debt financing, contributed by developers, and grant funding. For
this study, the adjustments impacting the asset valuation are separated into three components:
Capital Reserves: Includes reserves that provide funding for system improvements, which increases the
asset values of the corresponding category. It is reasonable and appropriate to include the balance of the
capital-related reserves because they have been built-up over time by existing rate customers and will be
used to repair or replace aging infrastructure, thereby contributing to the value of the system’s assets. Capital
reserves will increase the system's value as the cash equivalents are available for capital spending. However,
previously collected capacity fees that have not yet been spent are applied as a credit towards the system
asset value.

The asset adjustments from Table 2 and Table 3 are summarized in Table 4 to show the total asset
adjustments.
Table 4 – Water Asset Value Adjustments
Step 3 – System Demand/Capacity
For water, existing demand is reflected by total Meter Equivalents (MEs), where 1 ME represents the average
demand of a typical single-family residence within the District, equal to 609 gallons per day. This average
daily demand is assigned to the base 3/4” meter. Total MEs were determined by multiplying the number of
existing meters in the water system by the Capacity Ratio. The Capacity Ratio represents the potential flow
through each meter size compared to the flow through a 3/4” meter to establish parity between meter sizes.
Table 5 summarizes the total MEs in the water system.

Step 4 – Buy-In Component Calculations
The previous steps identified water assets (infrastructure), capital-related reserves, outstanding debt principal,
and system capacity. The buy-in component can be determined by deriving the cost per ME of the water
assets and adjustments. The net RCLD asset value (Total System Value) of the water system is divided by
the total MEs to derive the asset unit rate, as shown in Table 6.

The incremental costs are associated with constructing additional capacity to serve new development.
Therefore, the project cost of each asset category is spread over the additional capacity added to the water
system in gpd. Table 10 summarizes the cost per gallon of incremental capital projects and the associated

In conjunction with adopting the updated water capacity fees, IB Consulting recommends adjusting the
capacity fee annually to keep pace with inflation by applying the Engineering News Record Construction Cost
Index (ENR). The District should also review its capacity charges every five years, in conjunction with its
master plan updates, to capture any significant changes and ensure capacity fees remain equitable.

Capacity Fee Analysis - Wastewater
Step 1 – Asset Valuation (RCLD Asset Value)
This study utilizes the RCLD method of valuing the system. RCLD valuation is the most equitable and
reasonable approach since it considers the time value of money and factors in the remaining useful life of
each asset. To accomplish this, the District provided fixed asset records containing the original cost of each
asset. Replacement costs were estimated by bringing forward the original costs to today's dollars to reflect
the estimated cost if a similar asset were constructed today.
The original cost of each asset was indexed by the annual percentage change of the 20-cities CCI, published
by the Engineering News-Record. For 2024, the CCI value is 13,358. Accumulated depreciation was also
indexed to maintain consistency with 2024 dollars. Subtracting the accumulated depreciation from the
replacement cost yields the updated RCLD and reflects service standards in 2024 dollars. Table 13
summarizes the wastewater assets by category and shows the original cost, accumulated depreciation,
replacement cost in 2024 dollars, accumulated depreciation in 2024 dollars, and assets adjusted for the 2024
depreciation (RCLD). Land values were not depreciated, and the replacement value is estimated by increasing
the original acquisition costs by a 2% inflation limit in-line with Proposition 13 constraints on assessed values.
The new SNRC was recently constructed and started accepting wastewater flows in the second quarter of
2024. A detailed listing of wastewater assets can be found in Appendix B.
Table 13 – Wastewater Asset Summary
Step 2 - Asset Adjustments
It is also important to identify any adjustments to the RCLD total asset value. Special consideration may be
required when assets are acquired through debt financing, contributed by developers, and grant funding. For
this study, the adjustments impacting the asset valuation are separated into three components:
Capital Reserves: Includes reserves that provide funding for system improvements, which increases the
asset values of the corresponding category. It is reasonable and appropriate to include the balance of the
capital related reserves because they have been built-up over time by existing rate customers and will be
used to repair or replace aging infrastructure, thereby contributing to the value of the system. Capital reserves

will increase the system's value as the cash equivalents are available for capital spending. However,
previously collected capacity fees that have not yet been spent are applied as a credit towards the system
asset value. Table 14 identifies the FY 2025 beginning reserve balances for the District.
Table 14 – Wastewater Capital-Related Reserves
Outstanding Principal: Remaining outstanding principal payments of existing bonds and loans
Table 15 identifies the amount of outstanding principal remaining for the existing debt for the wastewater
system, with FY 2025 as the starting point. Detailed wastewater debt schedules can be found in Appendix C
Table 15 – Wastewater Outstanding Principal
Outstanding Interest: The SNRC included debt financing as a funding source. The SNRC has a capacity of
8 MGD with 6 MGD operating capacity and 2 MGD associated with accommodating future growth. Therefore,
75% of the debt is secured by rates and 25% of the debt is funded by capacity fees. The 25% of debt secured
by capacity fees must account for the future interest payments that must be paid through maturity.
Outstanding Interest associated with the SNRC financing requires an additional step to derive the Net Present
Value (NPV) of all future interest payments. The capacity fees are pledged to cover 25% of all future interest
payments; however, interest is amortized over multiple years. Paying the total amount of future interest
payments in advance, before the interest is incurred, would overcharge new connections. Therefore, the NPV
of interest is calculated using a discount factor equal to the average yield since 2000 of the Treasury Securities
at a 3-Year Constant Maturity (Treasury Securities), equal to 2.282%. Treasury Securities are a safe and
conservative return on investment for public agency investments. The NPV calculation discounts the future
interest payments by 2.282%, compounded annually.

Step 3 – System Demand/Capacity
For wastewater, existing demand is reflected by total Equivalent Dwelling Units (EDUs), reflecting the
wastewater facility design requirements of 245 daily gallons of flow. The total design capacity of the
wastewater treatment plants does not necessarily reflect the safe operating capacity. Once the plant capacity
is close to 80% of total capacity, additional upgrades or expansions are required. Therefore, when deriving
capacity-related unit rates, the operating capacity is used. Table 18 summarizes the units of service for the
wastewater system.
Table 18 – Existing Wastewater System
Step 4 – Buy-In Component Calculations
The previous steps identified wastewater assets (infrastructure), capital-related reserves, outstanding debt
principal, net present value of outstanding interest, and system capacity. The buy-in component can be
determined by deriving the cost per EDU of the wastewater assets and adjustments. The net RCLD asset
value (Total System Value) of the wastewater system is divided by the total EDUs to derive the asset unit
rate, as shown in Table 19.
