SUBJECT: INSPECTION CHARGES FOR CONNECTION AT FOUNDATION
INSPECTION
The current CCCSD procedure for new development projects is that the capacity and
inspection fees are collected and the physical connection to the sewer is made when
the structure's rough plumbing and roof have been completed ( "Roof and Rough "). If a
developer wants to connect when the building foundation is completed, a Special
Approval process has been established. This process includes a preconstruction site
visit from a CCCSD inspector, the installation of a plug to protect the sewer during
construction, a charge for the plug removal inspection and confirmation of the
installation of a clean out and overflow protection device, and the payment of all
connection fees.
Sewer connection at the building foundation phase has become so frequently requested
that staff has created a "connection at foundation" fee which consists of the individual
inspection fees currently charged under the Special Approval process. Staff is also
revising the Standard Specifications to include the "connection at foundation" procedure
in the 2014 edition. The connection at foundation fee results in a savings to customers
by not having to pay a portion of the Special Approval fee and results in permits being
issued faster as special conditions do not need to be drafted and reviewed for each and
every project.
With this change in procedure a developer will now have the choice to either:
1. connect at Roof and Rough, or
2. connect at the building foundation phase
The "connection at foundation" fees, a combination of fees are already in effect, are
shown in the table below.
