Overview of Current Litigation

This case was filed in 2013 and claimed a partial refund of impact fees paid to the Washington County Water Conservancy District between August 23, 2012 and December 31, 2017.

Attorneys who represent the class members (those who paid the impact fees) and attorneys for the WCWCD have reached a proposed settlement agreement that must yet be approved by the court. If approved, a partial refund will be issued for each of about 10,000 impact fee payments.

If the settlement is approved, notice of the details will be sent to those who previously received a notice of the action about four years ago unless the person receiving the previous notice has opted out of the litigation. In that event, no notice will be sent and no refund paid to that potential class member.

Notice to Class Members

Notices were mailed in 2022 to about 2500 potential class members. If you filed a form in response to that mailing, we will proceed as you directed. You may still file an information form, if you would like, by clicking the tab above entitled “Class Notice”, open the pdf, print it out, and mail it as directed on the form. The time has passed to opt out of the litigation.
