Permits

A sewer permit provides documentation on what work is to be done, where and by what contractors. The Authority works with the municipalities and their respective building code inspectors, however, both agencies must inspect the sewer work.

The Authority requires a sewer permit anytime work is being done on the sewer line, both the public and the private side. The Authority is required to provide the sewer lead tapped from the main sewer line, but not perform the actual connections of the sewer to the dwelling. The Authority is required to retain drawings of the entire sewer line from the sewer main and the dwelling. 

Submit all documentation by email to,  gulllakesewer@glswa.org, or email to request a contractor list.

If the property requires a grinder system and connection to the force main sewer line, the Authority will require a meeting with the contractor and owners.  All permit and capital fees must be paid prior to issuing the sewer permit.
