Arizona Revised Statutes Title 45. Waters § 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.
