Deferral program
Sewer availability and water access charge payment deferral program
In order to minimize the impact of the payment of the Water Access Charge (WAC) to new or expanding businesses within the City of Brooklyn Park, the City will provide a deferral option to pay the WAC fees over time versus at the time the building permit is issued.
