District Required Permits and Inspections 

Permits and inspections are required when a property needs to:

• Disconnect from the sewer (for example during a remodel),
• Reconnect (after a remodel or other disconnect), or
• Connect for the first time (new construction on a vacant lot or previous exemption).

Additionally, the District should be contacted when a project 1) requires moving or modifying any of the District’s equipment or 2) may create an encroachment on the District’s easement.

The general permit connect/disconnect application process includes the following, but some projects may require additional, or different, forms or steps. The District will guide each property owner through the requirements.

1. Complete a Permit Application and Pay Appropriate Permit Application Fee

• Download the applicable permit from the links below or obtain a copy from the District’s Administrative office.
• Complete forms A, B, and C of the applicable packet and return to the District office along with the required permit application fee.
• The property owner or contractor (agent) can complete the permit application, however, if the contractor completes the permit application, the property owner will be provided a copy of the application for review and acknowledgement.

2. Engineering Approval and Equipment Purchase

• After the permit application and fee are provided to the District office, the forms will be sent to Engineering, if needed, to review and approve. This process is required for all new connections, and in some other instances, and can take 2-3 weeks. The property owner and Contractor will be provided a copy of the Engineering packet when available.
• After Engineering approval of the permit application, the grinder station equipment, if needed, can be purchased.

3. Construction and Inspections

• Once notified it is okay to do so, the property owner and/or contractor may begin the disconnection and/or construction work.
• Inspections are required for disconnections, new connections, and re-connections.  (Refer to the standards manual for additional details.)
• Inspections require a 48-hour notice, must be done before any trenches are backfilled, and must be done before the residence becomes (re-)occupied.

Failure to comply with the required permits, inspections, or other Ordinance violations can result in fees and civil penalties of up to $2,500 per day.
