Equivalent Residential Units (ERUs) Currently Available

On October 3, 2022 the Sandy City Council adopted a moratorium, stopping acceptance of new land use applications that propose new sewer connections, to give sewer system improvements time to catch up with the community’s growth and aging infrastructure. The City Council has since adopted moratorium resolution extensions and three new moratoriums. Some of the adopted resolutions have the effect of adopting a new moratorium and repealing the existing moratorium, rather than being an extension of the existing moratorium, because state law requires a new moratorium be adopted in order to make any modifications to the moratorium terms. To access the resolutions for the first three moratoriums please visit the Development Moratorium Information web page.

On June 2, 2025, the City Council adopted Resolution 2025-14 (Moratorium 4.0) which modified the ERU allocation program with new provisions. This moratorium allows more flexibility in the ERU reassignment program for economic development activities, allows partitions in limited circumstances, and included some minor clarifications to Section 6 and 10 in the resolution. 

Below is a table showing the number of ERUs currently available for new development.  Please contact our Development Services Department staff if you have questions.
