Development Procedures

The first step in any project development is to ensure water and sewer capacity is available to your project site.  In order to receive availability for your proposed project, please download and complete the  Water and Sewer Application for Availability form and return to the Water Services Department for evaluation.

For development procedures, please review the department's Planning Guidelines & Standard Specifications documents found listed below under Construction Standards and Details(PDF, 16MB).

For information on water or sewer tap fees and the current rate charges can be found in the Billing and Customer Service section of our department's web page.
