SINGLE FAMILY HOMES:

 

Any new single-family home, or existing single-family home requiring an increase in service size, must meet SMCMUA’s current standards for construction.

  1. The homeowner’s contractor will be required to obtain the road opening permit, excavate, backfill, compact and perform final restoration.

  2. The homeowner’s contractor is not allowed to tap the main. They will coordinate the tap with SMCMUA. For a 3/4" or 1” tap, SMCMUA will provide all materials from the main to the curb. The contractor will continue the installation from the curb to the house.

  3. The contractor must cut and cap, at the main, any existing service to be abandoned.

  4. The contractor will be required to install a meter pit after the curb box. It is our understanding that meter pits have a long lead time so start sourcing the meter pit now. A cut sheet of the meter pit can be found on our website at www.smcmua.org under the Engineering tab.

  5. The homeowner must have their plumber available to install a spacer bar where SMCMUA removes an existing interior meter to install a new meter in the meter pit.

  6. Where a service is being reactivated, the applicant will be required to pay any fees on the account before the new service tap can be made.

  7. The applicant must attach a PDF copy of the site plan of their project with the application.
