Stormwater Development Fee Study - Public Comments - 8/13/2025
In June 2017, the North Carolina General Assembly ratified House Bill 436 “An Act to Provide for Uniform Authority to Implement System Development Fees for Public Water and Sewer Systems in North Carolina and to Clarify the Applicable Statute of Limitations”, thus amending Chapter 162A of the General Statutes by adding “Article 8, System Development Fees.” This is commonly referred to as the Public Water and Sewer SDF Act.
In accordance with the Public Water and Sewer SDF Act, the Town of Haw River retained the services of Stantec Consulting Services Inc., a professional engineering consulting firm, to complete a system development fee analysis and prepare an accompanying written report. Prior to adopting the calculated development fees, the Town must provide the public with an opportunity to review and comment for a minimum of 45 days.
The Town of Haw River is making the draft Water and Sewer System Development Fee Study available for public review on the Town’s website www.townofhawriver.com through 09/26/2025.
To access the draft study, please go to the Town Documents section of the website and go to System Development Fee Draft Study to download.
