Examples of Water, Wastewater and Irrigation PIF Estimates
New Single-Family Residential
- New 4 bedroom 5 bathroom single-family with 2,500 square feet of irrigable area on newly subdivided lot:
- The irrigation portion of the water PIF will be $2.13 x 2,500 = $5,325 with an annual irrigation water budget of 37,500 gallons based on the default 15 gallon per square foot application rate.

Single-Family Addition
- If the house only has a ¾” water meter, the increase in plumbing fixtures may require a new 1” water meter, tap and service to be installed at the customer’s expense. However, no new water or wastewater PIFs will be due and no change to the water budget will be made.
New Multifamily Residential

- The irrigation portion of the water PIF will be $2.13 x 10,000 = $21,300 with an annual irrigation water budget of 150,000 gallons based on the default 15 gallon per square foot application rate.

New restaurant requiring a 1.5” water meter with a ¾” irrigation meter serving 1,800 square feet of irrigable area
- The irrigation portion of the water PIF will be $2.13 x 2,000 = $4,260 with an annual irrigation water budget of 30,000 gallons, (2,000 square feet or 30,000 gallons based on the default 15 gallon per square foot application rate is the minimum).The indoor portion of the water PIF at 50% AWC will be $25,194 with an annual water budget of 228,000 gallons. The customer may choose a higher or lower budget and pay a higher or lower PIF according to the referenced schedule of fees.
- The wastewater PIF will be $9,109.
Nonresidential Tenant Finish
- The customer will only incur a water or wastewater PIF if the water meter is required to be increased because of an increase in plumbing fixtures. Any new water meters, taps and services will be installed at the customer’s expense. No new water or wastewater PIFs will be due and no change to the water budget will be made if the existing water meter size is adequate after the tenant finish. When a nonresidential customer increases the water meter size, they will pay the difference in water and wastewater PIFs between their average annual usage under the old meter size and the selected AWC usage for the new meter size.
