Non-Residential Requirements

In order to provide sewer service, the District requires the following actions from all Non-Residential connectors:

1.    A prospective connector requests a Will Serve Letter.

       The District will evaluate to see if sewer service is available at the proposed site and that it has been included into the District.

2.    If the parcel has not been included into the District, a petition for inclusion must be made and the necessary fees paid.

3.     If service is available, the District will issue a Will Serve Letter.  It requires the connector to submit the following.

• One set of Civil and Mechanical drawings.  The drawings must show the service line from the building to the main, with a sampling manhole as well as the interior layout showing bathrooms, sinks etc.

• Completion of the Wastewater Questionnaire Non-Residential Wastewater Questionnaire Form explaining the anticipated site activities and their potential to generate pollutants.  This helps the District determine if additional follow-up is needed on issues such as safe chemical storage or on-site wastewater handling or treatment.

• If the nature of the activity is such that pretreatment of wastewater is required, plans for such treatment units must be included for approval.  Example: Grease or sand oil interceptors, or other specialized treatment of industrial wastes such as pH neutralization or metal removal.

• Proof of water tap size.  This must be documented on submittals and will be confirmed with the water purveyor.

• Payment of $130 Plan Review Fee.  The fee is assessed per submittal.

4. After plans are reviewed and approved the tap may be purchased.   Non-Residential Tap Request Form Tap fees are based on the size of the potable water supply, line extension fees and an inspection fee.

5. Request District inspection (s) to verify proper sewer tap installation and installation of any additional requirements.  This may only be done in the presence of the District Inspector.
