Drinking water distribution system fees only apply to Approval to Construct application reviews. There is no fee to obtain the Approval of Construction certificate.
Wastewater system fees only apply to Construction Authorization application reviews. There is no fee to obtain the Discharge Authorization certificate.
There are currently no fees for the review and approval of public and semi-public swimming pools and spas.

Courtesy Review with Department Approval
The Department reserves the right to refuse a courtesy review request. The courtesy review fee is based on the applicable fee for the NOI application for the final project. In some cases more than one courtesy review application may be required for a project. The balance (2/3) of the applicable fee will be due when submitting an NOI for the final project. Fees for the final NOI will be based on the components of that submittal and they may not reflect the fee charged in the courtesy review. An NOI application submitted 6 months or more after the Department issues comments on the courtesy review will have to pay 100% of the fee for the project. |
One-third of the Standard Fee |
Priority Review with Department Approval
The Department reserves the right to refuse a priority review request. The fee for a priority review is double the applicable and maximum fees. |
Double the Standard Fee |
a. Design flow for fee calculations are based on Table 1. The design flow calculation for fees must be based on the capacity that the sewage collection system is ultimately designed to carry upon full build out, including potential future up stream connections. Example: The fee for a project with a design flow of 110,000 gallons per day is $1,000 for the first 10,000 gpd plus $2,000 for the remaining 100,000 gpd for a total fee of $3,000. A project that includes both gravity sewer and force main will require a separate NOI application for each project.
