A Sewer Permit is required for sewer improvements, repairs, and connections to the District sewer system. The sewer permit process is initiated with the Sewer Permit Application and is finalized with an approved inspection. All permits require a field inspection by the District.  

New services are NOT to be connected to the sewer system prior to obtaining a Permit.

The following are the steps to the permit process:

  2. Submit the application, with payment of fees, to the District office. (Sewer fees include a permit fee, capacity fee, and a line charge if applicable).
    Permit Fee   = $100 (includes up to 2 inspections)

    Line Charge  = Varies on location of development. Please contact the District to determine if a line charge is applicable.
