The County's Water and Sewer Plan assigns a water category and a sewer category to every property in the County. The category identifies the method by which the property receives water supply and sewer service. These service area categories serve to identify areas approved or planned for community water or sewer service and areas intended for service by individual (on-site) systems. For information about service area categories and eligibility for public service, please create a Service Request below and include accurate address information on the property in question.

Occasionally it becomes necessary for property owners and developers to request changes in water/sewer category of a property. A formal category change request is expected in this situation. The information and forms may be found on the DEP Web site by clicking on the link below.

For inquiries requiring the response of a DEP planner, requestors will typically be contacted within 3 days although resolution of the issue may take longer depending on the circumstances of the case.
