District Rates and Fees
Mountain Regional Water has several different rates, each dependant on things like selected usage patterns, location, and elevation, all of which were adopted in a transparent public process. Since we are a non-profit governmental entity and do not collect tax monies or subsidies from other governments, it is important that we fully recover all the variable and fixed costs associated with the delivery of this important resource. The differing monthly user fees or rates are all summarized below:
- Typical Residential Rate Schedules
- Non-Typical Rate Schedules
- One Time Connection or Meter Tap Fees
- Other Misc.. Fees
- Complete Fee Schedule (all of the above)
Since the greatest cost of delivering water to customers in the Basin is electrical power, the District adopted surcharges that factor in this additional cost to customers living at higher elevations. The following schedules show the High Elevation Surcharge calculated into the full block of rates for each applicable High Elevation areas.
- Detailed High Elevation Rate (Area 1)
- Detailed High Elevation Rate (Area 2a)
- Detailed High Elevation Rate (Area 2b)
- Detailed High Elevation Rate (Area 3)

District Impact Fees
Impact Fees are one time fees assessed on the developer of a sub-division or the home buyer upon water connection. These fees are used to pay the capital impact of a user on the system and follow the State of Utah Impact Fees Act. Calculating the relevant impact fee for a particular area in the District can be complex, especially if it is in an area not clearly identified on our map. An in-person conference is recommended to fully determine what the impact fees will be on any new development.
Impact Fee Summary Table
This document presents in a tabular way all of the currently adopted impact fees per region or area within the District.Impact Fee Regions or Areas
This is a generalized map showing the different areas that impact fees are assessed on. Fees differ because some areas require more capital expenditures to mitigate the impacts of the development on the system..Impact Fee Adoption Resolution
Here is the County approved impact fee resolution and all appurtenant attachments.Impact Fee Independent Analysis
As required by the Utah Impact Fee Act - each system must perform a capital facilities plan and impact fee analysis properly justifying all impact fees assessed. This study provides all of the necessary data needed to adopt our current impact fees.

The Mountain Regional Water System Development Process
This section presents the rules and processes that the Developer of a new project in Mountain Regional Water District must follow to be approved for permanent water service. This section does not apply to individuals seeking service in a previously approved subdivision.
The documents below are designed to help developers of new projects or subdivisions annex if applicable, design, construct, provide easements, and warrant all water system improvements associated with their development for a period of 2 years after being placed into service. While the process may seem daunting, it is not different than what most utilities require in the provision of a necessary public service. Where the water components of a development in western Summit County may differ from other areas lies primarily in the requirements for additional pumping demands - needed to deliver the water into a region of higher elevation or more complex geography. A preliminary meeting is always recommended with development representatives and District engineering and administrative staff to help define the scope and needs of the proposed development more carefully. Mountain Regional Water does not want to require infrastructure more or less than what is realistically required for the proposed project.
