If my water/sewer is already connected, why do I need an availability request form?

The Request Form is also used for the following:

  • Additional Uses at properties with existing utility connections
  • Alterations
  • Building Additions
  • Changes-of-Use
  • Increases in Intensity of Use
  • Modifications

Update to Records

Sometimes, proposed changes of these types trigger a required update to City utility records. Also, flow-based fees may be due because of proposed changes to the building or business. Under section 4, check “Existing building currently connected to City water and sewer” and complete section 5 with as much information as possible. Attach additional pages with a more detailed description of your project. A paid receipt for utility charges may be required prior to changing the use of the property, and/or to obtain a Building Permit, Business License or Certificate of Occupancy.
