Residential Water Tap

[Michael Gruber]

Hi! 

I'm trying to understand the full cost of a utility water hookup. What are the typical fees and costs associated with getting water to a property (Metering, Service Line,etc)? I'm in the Denver-Metro, Colorado area. 

Seems like it could easily be $20K-$30K... it could easily make or break a new build/spec. I imagine they keep the water and sewage tap on demo's of old properties?

City of Arvada tap fee is $19,720

While Denver is a little bit more ambigious:

Thanks!
