Concerning Additionant we ant Innt Fees When Initial Payment
Miscalculated.
The process used to determine water and sewer plant investment fees for large water and wastewater
users depends on an engineering analysis submitted by the user. Utilities staff calculate the fees
based on this submittal. While in the vast majority of situations this process is effective and results
in accurate PIFs, there is the possibility that good-faith information provided by a user will prove
to be incorrect. Once a facility is built,and the user begins operation,actual use characteristics may
not be as originally projected. As a result, the user may owe additional PIFs. This situation
currently exists.
