Does the increase pay for costs associated with new growth?
The costs of new growth are offset, in part, by the Utility Expansion Charge (UEC). The UEC is a one-time charge to new connections and this revenue is used to pay for capital to expand capacity. Capital costs that cannot be funded by the UEC must be funded from a variety of other sources, including rates or alternatively through developer contributions to infrastructure.
