Water Bill / Bill Payment — What is the Right-of-Way Toll?
The Right of Way Toll (or franchise fee) is a pass-through fee imposed by a local government entity on utility and cable television companies for the right to have utility infrastructure located within the entitys streets, roads and alleys. TMWA has no control or discretion over this fee. For Reno customers, the fee is 3% of your water charge and for Sparks customers, the fee is 5% of your water charge.
