45-1973. Water supply fees
The authority may assess fees, including extraction fees, development impact fees,
connection fees, user fees, replenishment fees and administrative fees, against any
operating unit or other person with which the authority has a contractual responsibility
to provide any service. The amount of the fee and the method of payment shall be
determined pursuant to the agreement between the authority and the operating unit or
person, based on the cost of the service the authority provides, including the cost of
developing an equivalent water supply for an operating unit that has exchanged with the
authority a water right or right to receive water for a water supply contract with the
authority. Any fee assessed under this section is not a rate or charge of the operating
unit and is not subject to regulation by the Arizona corporation commission. The
secretary-treasurer of the authority shall deposit all monies received under this section
in the general fund of the authority.
