Capacity Charges

System Capacity Charges Cover Conveyance, Storage

The System Capacity Charge is the cost for the conveyance and storage facilities necessary to operate the delivery system. The Water Treatment Capacity Charge is the cost for the connection to the Twin Oaks Valley Water Treatment plant. The Water Treatment Capacity Charge is an additional charge for each new meter of a size less than one inch and a corresponding increase for larger meters. The Water Treatment Capacity Charge excludes customers from the cities of Escondido, Poway, and Del Mar, which cannot be served by the Twin Oaks plant.

Effective January 1, 2027, the Water Authority has administratively adjusted the system and water treatment capacity charge schedule as reflected in the Calendar Year 2027 table below.
