New pressurized irrigation meter fees adopted in Highland February 9, 2017, 3:40 pmThe city now requires all new homes to install pressurized irrigation meter fees in preparation for an unstipulated time in the future when the city will meter pressurized irrigation. Effective immediately, the new fees will be assessed to builders when building permits are issued. The new fees ($372 for a ¾-inch meter; $432 for a 1-inch meter; $1017 for a 1 1/2-inch meter) will include the cost of the meter, the MXU (multiplexer unit) and staff time for installation, inspection and administration of new meters. The city is expecting to issue around 120 new home building permits in 2017. It is expected that half of those homes will need a ¾-inch meter and the other half will need a 1-inch meter. In the past, the city had allowed installation of meter cans only, but city staff discovered that in some cases those cans had been altered or added to. Additionally, an analysis determined it would cost the same to add actual meters to those cans as it does to install complete meters in new homes.
