What is the Guam System Development Charge used for?

The Guam System Development Charge is specifically designed to cover the costs associated with new connections to the water and sewer lines managed by the Guam Waterworks Authority (GWA). This charge is used to fund the infrastructure that is necessary to accommodate new developments within the community. As more properties are developed, there is a greater demand for reliable water and sewer services, and the fees collected help ensure that the required infrastructure can be built or expanded to meet this demand.

The other options, while they may pertain to important community services, do not relate to the primary purpose of the Guam System Development Charge. Road improvements, environmental conservation projects, and public transportation enhancements have distinct funding sources and objectives that are separate from the water and sewer system's requirements. Therefore, the focus of the charge is clearly defined to support the GWA's infrastructure needs for new connections.
