Ramona water district considers waiving fees for granny flats
Ramona Municipal Water District directors next month will discuss a proposal to waive water and sewer service fees for accessory dwelling units built at the same time as a single-family home. Directors reviewed fees for small accessory dwelling units, also known as ADUs or granny flats, at their Dec. 13 meeting. But instead of approving the proposal, they asked staff to research how other water districts manage the fees for those types of buildings. The state’s government code already exempts ADUs from water and sewer fees if they are added to a property with a single-family home. Going forward, the water district will consider exempting ADUs from the fees if they are built simultaneously with a single-family home.
