SewerPermit
The Sewer Division of the Department of Public Works issues a permit for sewer work.
The application can be obtained below or from the Sewer Division Office,
Town Hall, 2nd floor.
Application Process
- Submit Application for Sewer Permit form. Before a sewer permit is issued, the completed
Application for Sewer Permit must go out for review and approval. Note: Sewer permits for
repair or cap/demolition can be issued without the review process. For applications that go
out for review the sewer permit fee is not submitted until application is approved. For applications
that do not go out for review payment is submitted with the application form - for the
sewer permit fee call 622-7760.
- The top half of the application form must be completed by the applicant/homeowner/contractor. A sewer drawing/plan of the proposed sewer work must be submitted with the Application form. Note: Application for cap/demolish Sewer Permit can be submitted without a sewer drawing/plan.
- It is the Applicant's responsibility to thoroughly research any and all sewer easements as they pertain
to the subject property. Sewer easements must be shown on the submitted drawing/plan.
- The review process for sewer permit applications takes approximately 4 weeks/20 working days, maybe less.
You are notified as soon as the review process is complete. The applications are reviewed by the Sewer Inspector
and then the Sewer Superintendent. With the recent sewer extensions and building boom, our permit volume
has increased significantly, leading to a longer reveiew period. We appreciate your patience.
- When the application comes back from review, the contact person indicated on the application form
will be notified by phone of the results and the sewer permit fee.
- If the application is denied you will be told why and how to re-apply.
- If the application is approved, you will be notified of any conditions, outstanding documentation (electrical permit, plumbers information, etc.) required, and what the sewer permit fee is.
- When payment and any required documentation (electrical permit, plumbers information, etc.) is received, the sewer permit will be typed up and will need a Town Official's signature, which takes approximately 2 days. It takes approximately 2 days to process a sewer permit once payment, approval, and any required documentation (electrical permit, plumbers information, etc.) is received. The Sewer Permit is signed by either the Sewer Works Superintendent, Deputy Commissioner, or Commissioner of Public Works. After it is signed, the Sewer Permit can be issued to the applicant/homeowner/contractor.
- Some applications are approved with conditions.
Notes:
- Applications expire one year from date of review decision.
- Sewer Permits are non-transferrable. They are only valid for the homeowner they are issued for
and who paid for the sewer permit.
- Sewer permits will not be issued without a plumber's name and license.
A P1 or P7 license is required.
- Sewer permits are only valid for the plans submitted and approved. Any change in the
plans must be submitted for review and approval by the Sewer Division.

- Effective April 1999, a two-family house (side by side units) must have two separate sewer lines/laterals and they must stay at least five feet (5') apart from each other.
- Effective August 2000, a sewer permit for cap/demolition must be issued, inspected and approved by the Sewer Inspector before a Building permit for demolition can be issued.
- Effective July 2001, if reconnecting to the sewer, a sewer final for cap/demolition must already be issued before the sewer application can be reviewed.
