INFORMATION MEMO
To: Mayor Mullet
From: Public Works Director,~O~
Date: July 27, 2004
Subject: Duwamish Area Water Connection Fees
ISSUE
Approve ordinance setting the water connection fees for any new development in the
Duwamish neighborhood.
BACKGROUND
The City of Tukwila and the Val Vu¢ Sewer District completed the water, sewer, surface water
and street improvements in the Duwamish neighborhood. In 2002, Ordinance No. 2007
required connection to the sewer line and set the boundaries of the neighborhood.
Now that the entire costs have been determined and the project has been closed out, we are
able to set the water connection fees for any new development.
ANALYSIS
The water costs equaled $397,543.74 and we estimate that a total of 100 water connections,
both existing and new, are possible in that neighborhood. This sets the initial connection fee at
$3,975.44.
New development is estimated between 20-40 new water conneetious and they will be required
to pay the water connection fee before approval of the building permit. Houses currently
connected to the water system will not be assessed a water connection fee and are covered
under the water fund and their monthly water bill.
Along with Val Vue Sewer Distxict, we financed the project with a 20-year loan. RCW
35.92.025 allows the City to charge for the installation of water systems such that the property
owners bear their equitable share. This also includes interest charges for a period not to
exceed ten years at a rate commensurate with the rate of interest applicable to the City. The
Public Works Trust Fund loan is for 20 years at ~ % interest and we are setting the connection
fees to increase 1% each year over a ten-year period.
RECOMMENDATION
Approve ordinance setting the water connection fees for the Duwamish neighborhood.
