Water & Sewer Improvement Districts

An improvement district is a financing method for making public street, water or sewer improvements in a neighborhood.

Formation of an improvement district begins with a petition request from neighborhood property owners. Next, the City evaluates the request. If a majority of property owners within the area in question support the project, it can proceed.

Property owners who benefit from installation of the improvements pay for them through special assessments levied on their property. Assessments are payable in annual payments, over a term of up to 20 years.

If you have questions regarding any of these Improvement Districts, please contact Public Works at 928-777-1130.
