Right-of-way encroachment fee increases

Indian Trail

Summary

Utility companies will now pay much more to dig up town rights-of-way: $1,000 for major encroachments plus 19 cents per linear foot, instead of a flat $100. A mile of installation jumps from $1,000 to about $5,500, offsetting staff time rather than falling on taxpayers.
