Application Process
Print version of 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/disconnect 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/disconnect 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 Maintenance Manager or Wastewater Division Manager.
- 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 Wastewater Division Manager, 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-transferable. 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 August 2000, a Sewer Permit for cap/disconnect 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/disconnect must already be issued before the Sewer Application can be reviewed.

- If you will be installing a pump to connect to the sewer, you must show proof you have an Electrical Permit from the Building Division prior to receiving your Sewer Permit. Sewer Finals will not be issued without proof that Electrical Certificate of Compliance is issued from the Building Division.
- To schedule your Sewer Inspection please notify the Sewer Inspector at 622-0963 ext. 217, at least twenty-four (24) hours in advance. Please place calls between 7:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. When calling in, the following information must be given: Sewer Permit number, property location, owner’s name, Plumber or Contractor’s name, and Caller’s name and phone number. No sewer line is to be backfilled until all the sewer work is inspected. This also pertains to sewer line repairs.
- Sewer Permits expire two years from date of issuance. Sewer work and Sewer Permit Conditions must be completed and a Sewer Final issued before the Sewer Permit expires. If this is not done the Sewer Permit will be voided and a new Sewer Permit must be obtained.
- Televise (TV) sewer lateral with the Sewer Inspector, 203-622-0963 ext. 217, present during the TVing to determine the condition of the existing sewer lateral. Make a DVD of this inspection. Submit a copy of the DVD to the Sewer Division. Failure to have the Sewer Inspector present during the TVing will result in the Sewer Division not accepting the DVD. If lateral is in poor condition and being reused, must replace the lateral to the Sewer Main. If lateral is in poor condition and not being reused, must cap existing lateral back to the Sewer Main.
