    4 Agreement
      I understand that as the Owner, or the Owner’s authorized representative, that the issuing of the Sewer Availability Letter involves a preliminary plan review by the District, and that Sewer Availability Letters are done in the order that they are received. The District will diligently evaluate all submittals in a timely manner, however the amount of time may depend upon the following: the type of application, the size of the proposed development, the number of other applications, and the District resources available at the time of submittal. Items requiring District review and approval, and all future submittals, must be submitted far enough in advance to allow adequate time for review and approval.*
      I also understand that my plan submittal for the Sewer Availability Letter must include at least a preliminary Civil Utility Plan showing the proposed sanitary sewer improvements. Architectural plans of the structure do not meet the requirements for plan submittal, however they may be helpful for reviews on commercial projects. The only exception to the requirement to submit a Civil Utility Plan submittal is where the project is for one (1) single family residence, where there will only be one (1) single Lateral connection to an existing District Main Line. Where this condition exists, a simplified sketch or Site Plan can be submitted in place of the Civil Utility Plan. Applications for Sewer Availability Letters must also include all proposed addresses and lot numbers, the only exception is for a Main Line project where a Plat will be submitted prior to the pre-construction conference containing the required information.*
      I understand that my property will be placed into billing after the building is connected to the sewer system. Single family residential properties will be placed into billing after four months. All other properties will be placed into billing after six months. I understand that I am responsible for all utility billings after that date, whether the building(s) is occupied or not. If there are significant unforeseen construction delays, the District must be contacted in writing in advance of the first utility billing at [email protected]. Alternate billing arrangements will be evaluated on a case by case basis and will be approved or rejected at the sole discretion of the District. Alternate billing arrangements will only be made one time and will not be made after the first utility billing. I understand and agree that once a property is placed into billing, the only way to have it removed from billing is to terminate the service by digging up and capping off the sewer lateral outside of the building near the property line. Buildings which are remodeled or have sanitary sewer service may not be subject to the four or six month timeframe for utility billing and may have their utility billing adjusted immediately after the sanitary sewer work is completed.*
      The District can service and approve most projects, however failure to provide any of the above-mentioned information will result in the delay or possible rejection of the application. Applications that require additional information or clarification will be notified within 10 business days - please do not contact the District during this timeframe to inquire about the status of the application. Complete applications that can be serviced will be issued a Sewer Availability Letter within 10 business days. Applications that are not approved will be notified in writing after their full and complete application and plan submittal.*
      I understand that as a condition of service that: I the Owner, or the Owner’s authorized representative, and any party which is contracted to work on my behalf, agree to follow the Standards and Specifications and Code of General Regulations of the District.*
