New pressurized irrigation meter fees in Highland

By Linda Petersen
HIGHLAND—Highland's city council has approved a new pressurized irrigation meter fee. They say the new fee is necessary to reflect the cost of providing the services.
The 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.
The new fees ($372- ¾-inch meter; $432-1-inch meter; $1017 - 1-1/2-inch meter) will include the cost of the meter, MXU (multiplexer unit) and staff time for installation/inspection/administration of new meters.
The city is expecting to issue around 120 new home building permits in 2017. It is expected 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 case 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.
The new fees, which are effective immediately, will be assessed to builders when building permits are issued.
