Rate Schedule

Equivalent tap units for a property are determined by the Equivalent Tap Schedule.

Sewer plant personnel will review building plans to provide a tap unit calculation quote. Tap fees must be paid prior to receiving sewer sign-off on the building permit sign-off card.
  • Inspection Fee: The fee is $100.00 per inspection. The inspection fee must be paid in advance of the inspection, at the time the tap fee is paid. Please request an inspection by sewer plant personnel at least 24 hours in advance. Inspections may be scheduled Monday - Friday between 8:00am - 4:00pm.
