RESOLUTION No. 2021- 02
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF CHUBBUCK, IDAHO,
ADOPTING A TEMPORARY REDUCTION IN THE
WATER AND WASTEWATER CAPACITY FEES
AS AN INCENTIVE TO ENCOURAGE HOUSING AVAILABILITY
Housing availability has been identified as the number one risk to the Southeast Idaho
Economy, which has been impacted not only by the increasing costs of construction but also by
the negative impacts of COVID-19.
The Chubbuck Impact Area Wastewater Collection Authority ("Authority") has recently
adopted a Resolution to merge the Wastewater Capacity Fee (sometimes referred to as a
"Connection Fee") for properties lying outside of the Chubbuck City limits but within the
Chubbuck Area of City Impact from $5,490 per EDU to a combined capacity fee with the City of
$4,133 per EDU based upon a wastewater capacity replacement fee study by FCS Group.
The City has agreed to adopt the same fee for inside the City limits and which amount
would be $3,588 for collection and $545 for pumping or a combined fee of $4133 per EDU.
This however would represent a fee increase from the present fee of $1,000 per EDU for
properties inside the City limits.
The City currently charges a Water Capacity Fee of $2,250 per EDU.
To encourage the availability of housing, the City has reviewed a recommendation to
have a temporary Thirty percent (30%) reduction in both the Water and the Wastewater Capacity
Fee to $1,575 per EDU for Water and $2,872 per EDU for the Wastewater Capacity Fee for a
period of twelve (12) months from the date the Incentive was adopted.
