Beginning January 1, 2026, local governments must give builders a credit against water and wastewater impact fees. You qualify when you build, contribute, or dedicate an eligible facility, system, or product that delivers water reuse, conservation, or savings. Eligible work reduces per‑unit water use, supply or treatment needs, wastewater collection or treatment, or stormwater and drainage demand, or exceeds standard water‑efficiency requirements. The credit lowers the impact fees charged to the development. Local governments must set clear, fair, and consistent methods to calculate, apply, review, and approve these credits.
