System Development Fees Study

The Town of Murphy, as required by law, is issuing an updated report on our System Development Fees (SDF's). SDF's are what the town charges new water/sewer customers to connect to the system. The Town is using the "buy-in" method, where new customers are buying their proportionate share of system capacity from the existing customer base. The methodology is explained in the published report. The Town must have a public comment period for at least 45 days before adopting the study and setting new SDF rates. The Town is encouraging as much input from the public as possible.
