Residential Water & Sewer Tap

The process to request a new residential water and sewer tap takes only a few steps if the tap request is for property inside City limits. Sewer tap requests for property outside City limits must include a Waiver of Annexation and a site plan. An approved vendor from our list must be utilized for all city and county water taps. 

If you want to put existing water service in your name, please use the move-in form, move-out form or transfer service form.
