OAR 333-061-0089
Annual Water System Fee

Water suppliers must pay an annual fee to partially defray the cost of the Authority’s regulation of public water systems.
(1) The fee is based on the classification of the water system according to Table 44.
(a) For campgrounds where multiple handpumps exist, a single fee will be assessed.
(b) For community water systems, the fee is based upon the number of service connections or the population served by the water system and water treatment applied at the water system.
(A) Only water treatment applied to comply with a water quality standard or treatment technique is considered when determining this fee. The Authority does not consider supplemental fluoridation, disinfectant residual maintenance, or treatment for secondary contaminants to be treatment for purposes of determining this fee.
(B) For small community water systems with 250 service connections or less but serving more than 1,000 people, the lesser of the two fees will be assessed.
(C) For water systems with more than 250 service connections, the fee is based on the number of connections.
(D) For water systems without a distribution system and where water is exclusively delivered on a wholesale basis, the fee is based on the total population served by the water systems purchasing water directly from the wholesaler.
(2) Water suppliers must pay the fee to the Authority on or before July 1st of every calendar year.
(3) The Authority will assess a one-time late fee according to Table 44 to any water supplier that fails to submit the annual fee by July 31st of each year. The late fee may be waived at the discretion of the Authority.
