This checklist covers the following general wastewater‑related permits that don’t fall under the developer extension agreement, industrial discharge, or new sewer connection:
- Side sewer repair: for side sewer repairs on private property located within an existing public easement or within the public right-of-way.
- Note: side sewer repairs on private property that are not located within a public easement are treated a over-the-counter permits. They can be applied for directly online and are usually processed within 24 - 48 hours.
- Cap‑offs: permanently closing and abandoning an existing sewer service.
- Core main: drilling into the public sewer main to create a new service connection point.
