Capital Connection Charges and Lateral Benefit Fee Payments
Pursuant to City of Auburn Hills Code requirements, some residential and commercial projects are subject
to a utility development fee in order to offset the costs of providing water and sewer services. These fees
are due and payable at the issuance of a building permit or change of use for an existing customer.
Development fees depend on the Residential Equivalent Units (REUs) purchased for each water and/or
sewer connection. A REU is defined as the amount of water that is required by a single-family residence.
The fees are based on REUs because the size and therefore the cost of the water distribution system and
wastewater collection system are directly related to the number of customers and their relative quantities
of water usage and wastewater discharge.
The following EQUIVALENT RESIDENTIAL UNIT FACTOR SCHEDULE contains factors for common
types of use. To determine the REU per unit, locate the type of use and not the Unit of Measure and REU
per Unit.
