MEMORANDUM

SUBJECT: Resolution No. 2025-24 - Implementing a New Fee for a Truck Fill
Station Permit in the Water Fees Section of the Schedule of Rates,
Charges and Fees.
The Public Works Department is installing a new truck fill station for commercial water operation
needs in the summer. Previously the City gave out hydrant meters to allow contractors to fill their
trucks as needed around town, but this created water quality and pressure issues throughout the
water system. The new station will be installed on Daubenspeck Road off of a hydrant that can
be regularly monitored by City staff and will have minimal impact to the water system. The
,proposed permit fee of $200 is expected to offset the annual fees brought in from previously
renting hydrant meters out and will reduce staff time associated with the billing and handling of
deposit fees for the hydrant meters. We expect to have the new truck fill station operational by
May 1 st, 2025 for use.
The Public Works Department recommends implementing a new fee for a Truck Fill Station
Permit.
