Time & Materials Deposits

For work requiring Time & Materials Deposits, the deposit amount will be calculated based on the sizes of proposed water services and estimated costs of labor, equipment, and materials. The Applicant/Developer will be billed based on actual costs of materials, equipment, and labor used to complete the work. If actual costs are less than the deposit amount, the Applicant/Developer will receive a refund in the amount of the unused deposit. If actual costs exceed the deposit amount, the Applicant/ Developer will receive an invoice in the amount of the overage. The Applicant/Developer shall be responsible for all excess charges over the deposit.
