Tlle follo�ving are basic guidelines that you should consider when you plan to hook up: 1. You must pay a Sewer Availability Charge (SAC) to the City before a connection permit can be issued to your contractor. The SAC is $750.00 for connections made in 1993. This fee is forwarded directly by the City to the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission (MWCC) who sets the fee. The fee is normally increased by MWCC each year, so connections occurring in future years will likely pay a higher SAC. 2. You must hire a plumber to make the actual connection between your house and the sewer service stub brought to your property line. A list of licensed plumbers is available at the City office. Be advised that we are in the new City offices at 2750 Kelley Parkway across from the Orono Middle School. 3. Your plumber must obtain a sewer connection permit from the City prior to makin� the connection. The cost of that permrt is $35.50. 4. The City Code requires that at the time you con.nect to the City sewer, all existing septic tanks no longer in use shall be pumped out and filled with native soil. You should be sure that this is included in the plumber's bid. 5. All sanitary plumbing serving your house must be connected to the sanitary sewer. If you intend to maintain an existing septic system for use merely as a receiver for footing or foundation tile drainage, this will require prior review and approval by the City Inspector. 6. It is illegal to discharge footing and foundation drains, such as sump pumps, into the sanitary sewer system. Such drains cannot be connected to the sanitary sewer system, but must be routed to the ground surface or a separate drainfield system. TLLEPHOYE-473-7357 • F�+JC-473-�IO � ` ` ' Stubbs Bay March 24,1993 Page 2 7. The pipe from your residence to the service stub should be at a depth of at least 4-6' for the majority of its len�th to avoid freezing problems. Any connection piping at a depth less than 42" or undemeath driveways or parking areas that will be cleared of snow during the winter, shall be provided with suitable insulation. g. The State Health Deparnnent requires a minimum separation of 20' between wells and air tested sewer lines, 50' between wells and non-air tested lines. If your connection must be between 20' and 50' from your well or a neighbor's well, your contractor will be required to air test your connection. 9. Upon connection, the quarterly sewer service charge will be $51.15 (1993 rate). 10. Once sewer is available for connection, you are required to connect within 90 days. According to City policy, all properties will begin to pay the full sanitary sewer fee at the end of the designated connection period whether they have connected to the system or not. If you have other questions or comments, please feel free to contact me; Bruce Vang, Building Inspector; or Lyle Oman, Building Official. Sincerely, John R.

January of 1994, I indicated that you could make the connection to City sewer in the spring as the connection would be difficult in frozen ground.

On January 1, 1994, the Metropolitan Waste Control Commission (MWCC) increased the SAC charge to $800.00. According to their regulations, the current SAC rate applies when the sewer is connected. It is very likely there will be an additional increase in January of 1995. Since your property is not cunently connected to City sewer, please be aware that you will be responsible for paying any additional SAC charges accumulated since the original payment of $750.00. This payment will be due at the time the property is connected to City sewer and a plumbing contractor takes out a sewer connection permit. If you have any questions, please contact me at my office.
