Tapping Fees
West View Water Authority has established a schedule of tapping fees for connections to main water lines, the said tapping fees being in addition to the service line connection fees. The tapping fees will vary, based on many factors including the location of the main line, the connection to a main line installed by the Authority and/or other under reimbursement agreements, to main lines installed under assessment agreements and to other special conditions.
