Sewer Repairs/Replacements/Additions
A plan submittal is usually not necessary when applying for a permit for a sewer repair, a sewer replacement or building additions with less than 100 feet of new lateral sewer line to be installed, unless requested by USD's Engineer.
Upon payment of all fees and evidence of a city building permit, a sewer permit may be issued to the party contracted to do the underground construction.
After obtaining a permit, call 24 hours before beginning sewer construction to schedule an inspection.
