Water and Sewer Permits

A Water or Sewer Permit is required when a water or sewer service is installed, repaired, replaced, renewed, or altered.

These permits help protect public health and safety by ensuring that water and sewer services are constructed and maintained in accordance with applicable standards and regulations. It is the responsibility of the property owner (or their authorized agent) to obtain a water or sewer permit before work begins when one is required.
