Village Sewer or Water Checklist

Village Manager or Water/Sewer Commissioners regarding closest connections and discuss self funding
vs. creating a new SSA with your neighbors.

will run from tap point to building entry. Note any disruptions to landscape
or buffers.

to confirm if you will be liable for recapture fees to existing SSAs,
and what those costs will be.
