PADA Equivalent Dwelling Unit (EDU) Fee
On April 20, 2021, Mayor and Council adopted an additional PADA fee of $1,000 per EDU. The fee will be assessed per Pima County Tax Parcel Number and will be assessed for each water meter obtained after a parcel has paid its PADA Application Fee, completed all requisite plan submittals, and obtained approvals for water service.
A single EDU connection is equivalent to a standard 5/8” residential meter. For developments that require larger meter sizing, a multiplier will be used to estimate the size of each connection impact. For example:
| Meter Size | Equivalent EDUs | Current Fee |
|---|---|---|
| 5/8 inch | 1 | $1,000 |
| 3/4 inch | 1.5 | $1,500 |
| 1 inch | 2.5 | $2,500 |
| 1-1/2 inch | 5 | $5,000 |
| 2 inch | 8 | $8,000 |
| 3 inch | 17.5 | $17,500 |
| 4 inch | 30 | $30,000 |
| 6 inch | 67.5 | $67,500 |
| 8 inch | 80 | $80,000 |
