FROM: TOM GODS NIOR ENGINEER
SUBJECT: NEW CONNECTION FEE BUNDLES UPDATE
In July, 2014 the Permit Counter created a new "bundled" fee that permitted upper
sewer lateral connections at completed foundation for residential buildings. Typically
this activity was restricted until the structures were roofed and rough plumbing was
installed — to safeguard the sewer collection system from construction debris. The
bundled fee includes the traditional (typical) fees plus $360 that represents two
additional inspections. Customers have been offered the option of either approach
since July, 2014.
The new option has been well received. Since the program was introduced there have
been approximately 330 residential connection permits issued. Within those residential
connections there have been 147 permits with the new bundled fee (connection
occurring at foundation) and 183 permits with the standard connection at roof and rough
plumbing. Feedback from customers has been very favorable.
