Does the connection fee have to be paid in full? 

Yes.

Is there a payment plan?

No.

Can the fee be paid before obtaining a building permit?

Yes, but the connection process will not start until a building permit is presented to the district office.

What is the water connection process?

The district will be responsible for the connection at the main distribution line, installing the appropriately sized service connection appliances and valves, and supplying and installing an appropriately sized meter shutoff valve. 

What happens if the main water/sewer line isn't on the same side of the street as the property?

The district will not be responsible for cutting and crossing roads or other properties, nor will it incur the cost of ditch construction, road repair, or additional excavation. It will be the property owner's responsibility. The property owner should also have a Licensed Contractor complete this portion of the process.

What is the sewer connection process? 

The district's responsibility will solely lie in the construction related to the established sewer infrastructure, basic connection at the main distribution line, and maintenance of existing sewer lines. The district will install the appropriately sized service connection. This does not include the installation of new sewer lines leading to the property in question. The property owner will bear this cost.
