Water Resources Acquisition Fees Water Resources Acquisition (WRA) fees were adopted by City Council on August 30, 1989 (Ordinance G-3265) and they have been effective since April 1, 2001, per Section 30-4 Phoenix City Code. These fees were created to require new development to pay its proportionate shared of the costs to the city associated with providing water resources to new development. Fees are calculated by meter size and location of the proposed development within the city. Currently, the City is divided into three fee zones: WRA1, WRA2 and WRA3.
