CLAY TOWNSHIP

SERVICE CONNECTIONS TO THE SANITARY SEWER

Connection permits are issued in our office on Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 am - 11:30 am and 1:30 pm - 4:00 pm. At times of heavy volume permit requests, you will be asked to pick up your permit(s) on the next business day. For questions regarding fees, please refer to District Ordinance #9-13-2004.

Two site plans are required at the time of permit - ALL necessary detail must be included on site plans. This includes: top of casting for upstream and downstream manholes, manhole numbers, main floor elevations, proposed lateral locations, proposed connection into main/manhole, required easements and property lines. More information may be required at the time of review.

All fees must be paid at the time of permit: $1,650 connection fee plus a $100 application/inspection fee. Interceptor fees may also apply if not previously paid by the developer.

If your project involves either a new connection, modification or repair to the sanitary sewers in the District's service area, you need to obtain a permit from the District before you can get your building permit from the appropriate planning and zoning jurisdiction.

A District inspection will also be required. As stated on our permit, inspections must be scheduled 24 hours in advance by calling the District office. Inspections called in after hours will have to wait until the following day in order to schedule. Voicemails for inspection requests will not be allowed. Please visit our Sewer Projects page for more information on the District's fees and permitting requirements. The District's construction specifications for main line installations, lateral connections, repairs, manhole inside drops and other details are included on our Specifications & Download page. You may also want to check our Document Index page for a listing of other related documents pertaining to dedication of completed sewers.

From the District's main office, you may also need to go to Carmel City Hall, or to Zionsville Town Hall, or the Boone County Area Plan Commission office in the county courthouse in Lebanon - in some cases, maybe even to the City-County Building in downtown Indianapolis. If your project involves any impact on the local roads or road right-of-way to access our sewers, you may also need to obtain permits from the Hamilton County or Boone County Highway Departments, Indiana Department of Transportation or the Zionsville or Carmel Street Departments. District staff can advise you of the specifics for your particular situation.

We know this can be confusing but the District is an independent political entity with a regional service territory, serving properties in four different planning and zoning jurisdictions. Regardless of which zoning jurisdiction will issue your building permit, our connection permit must be obtained first.
