Impact analysis
Existing residents and businesses are largely unaffected; new development pays updated impact fees, and the city stops subsidizing a $2,900-per-meter Fort Worth charge.
Homeowners replacing a roof save $50; the utility fund stops eating the difference on Fort Worth tap fees.
New subdivisions and multifamily projects face substantially higher water tap impact fees.
