The Utility Development Services (UDS) Division consists of several programs that assist developers and landowners in obtaining water and wastewater service for existing and future development.
Programs include:
- Service Extension Request Program (i.e. extension of City water and wastewater infrastructure to provide utility service to a property)
- On-Site Sewage Facilities Program (e.g. onsite wastewater/septic systems serving single lots)
- Private Lateral Program (i.e. investigation of defective private wastewater lines connecting a building to the City's wastewater system)
- Pipeline Engineering Program (i.e. review of commercial sites and subdivision plans and City Capital Improvement Projects)
- Review of Engineered Tap Plans (i.e review of plans for the installation of water/wastewater services at residential and commercial sites that qualify for a site plan exemption.)
- Review of Water Meter Upgrade Applications (i.e. reviews of applications to upgrade or modify existing or proposed water meter installations)
- Decentralized Wastewater
