NOTE: Any subdivision where each unit will be responsible for their own water will be classified under SINGLE FAMILY.
Duplexes are classified under apartments and multiplied by the number of bedrooms. Example, if 3 bedrooms per apartment, multiply the cost of 3 bedroom apartment x 2.
Mobile homes and trailers are classified as having 1 equivalent dwelling unit (per City Ordinance 80-10) and are charged the same as a 1-bedroom unit.

Service Request – New Location
Customers requesting water service to a location not yet serviced by the City must pay all applicable fees before service will be offered. If the new service location is within the scope of our service area but outside Boynton Beach City limits, they will be required to pay the following:
- CAPITAL FACILITY CHARGE – based on size of dwelling, see Ordinance 90-35.
- CONNECTION FEE – based on size of the meter.
- METER DEPOSIT – based on size of meter, serves as security for the charges on the water account.
If the service location is within the City limits, they will be required to pay only the connection fee and meter deposit. The City's Building Department collected the capital facility fee when the building permit was issued. For existing property that has been on well and/or septic, Cap fees will need to be collected.
Once all fees have been paid, the customer must coordinate the installation of water service with the Utility Department's Water Distribution Division. The customer's property must meet all requirements regarding the meter box and the water and sewer service line connections from the building to the point of connection with the City. An inspection will be made by the Utility Department to determine if and when the property may receive water service. |
