Impact fees are designed to reduce ugly urban sprawl and help preserve open space. Although
El Paso Water Utilities requested a significant increase in impact fees, City Council decided to
delay and debate the issue for a year. Impact fees cover the cost of necessary new water and sewer
infrastructure. Either developers and builders pay the costs associated with their growth, or the
current and future rate payers will pay increased fees.
