This is an important notice concerning the sewer system serving the customers connecting to the town's sewer system.
1. It is the contractors responsibility to arrange an on-site meeting with a representative from the Town Public Works Dept. to determine the location of the STEP tank prior to plumbing rough in. Any locations determined without our approval may not be acceptable. The tanks must be located on a town approved site. Any plumbing connection problems that may arise by contractors unauthorized actions are not the responsibility of the town.
2. After a tank is set and the first inspection is approved, we will place green flags around the tank. Please keep traffic off these tanks. It is not a traffic designed tank. Any indication of traffic will warrant an additional inspection fee. If any damage has occurred, that tank will be rejected and service will not be allowed until repaired or replaced.
There is information at the Town Hall about the STEP systems. Please contact the Public Works Department if you have any questions concerning our system. We will be glad to assist you.
