Water & Sewer Capacity Procedures
In accordance with the City’s Sewer and Water Capacity Plan & Allocation Procedures that were adopted by City Council on October 17, 2022, water and sewer capacity must be formally requested for all new development projects.
Please note that allocations will be made based on estimated flow, available system capacity, and approval is not guaranteed as infrastructure limitations must also be evaluated. Requests are typically filled on a first-come, first-served basis.
For questions regarding availability, or to be added to the wait list, please contact Matthew Hailey.
