The Capacity Availability Fee (CAF) is a fee charged by the Western Lake Superior Sanitary District (WLSSD) on all new sewer connections and construction projects that will result in expanded use of the sewer system. All such connections or expansions require that a CAF is paid.
The CAF helps to meet the needs of future growth in the WLSSD service area by funding construction and maintenance of additional sewer capacity. The fee reflects the cost of constructing additional sewer capacity for the WLSSD system. The CAF is typically paid at the time a building or plumbing permit application is submitted for new construction or remodeling. Fees must be paid before permits will be issued.
