Capacity Fee Calculator - Average Daily Flow

Capacity fees and associated charges are one-time fees assessed when connecting to JEA's water, wastewater, and reclaim (reuse) system. The required fees are the direct costs to connect and cover the cost for infrastructure expansion and replacing or refurbishing the aging utility infrastructure. 

Prior to initial connection to JEA's water and wastewater systems, customers are required to pay a water/wastewater plant and line extension Growth Capacity Charges. Charges are determined by the projected daily flow (consumption) as submitted by an engineer or as calculated by Florida Administrative Code (FAC) 62-6.008.

Additional water/wastewater plant capacity charges may be required for expansion or increased flow at existing facilities. 

Calculate the average daily flow costs below. Next, compare the calculated costs to the table of base fees below. Whichever is greater is the amount to include on the Meter Application.
