Fairfield Tap Fees
$3425.00 for water & sewer.

The following requirements apply to ALL builders, owners, renters or developers:

  1. Deposits are required for every meter.
  2. Deposits will be applied to the final bill.
  3. Post the meter card so the lot can be identified for the tap.
  4. Install a gate valve on the customer side of the meter. Carroll County Water Authority personnel will inspect the gate valve when the meter is read the first time for billing.
  5. Do not run service from the house until meter is in place.
  6. Install the meter near the driveway in a well-maintained area when possible. Due to rising insurance costs, the meter should not be located on top of banks.
  7. You will receive a bill every 2 months beginning at the time the meter is installed. The minimum bill for water is $15.00 and the minimum bill for Fairfield is $30.00 because of sewer.
  8. Do not fence in our meter because we need easy access at all times.

Your cooperation in observing these rules will be appreciated and will allow Carroll County Water Authority to better service our customers.
