Watershed Packet
This packet includes forms that are directly related to your building permit, but are serviced by
Watershed Development. Some or all of these forms may be required depending on your scope
of work. Please read all the instructions on each form as some have different submittal
procedures.
INCLUDED FORMS:
Water Meter/ Irrigation Meter: This fillable form can be done electronically to make easier
for online submission. All new construction must have a water meter. If uncertain about
whether a lot previously had a water meter on it, please contact Watershed. For use as an
Irrigation Meter, this is a second meter installed on a property for irrigation purposes and
does not sewer charges.
Sewer Capacity Evaluation: All new construction of Single Family Detached Dwellings that
intend to use sewer instead of septic are required to complete a Sewer Capacity Evaluation.
You will not be issued a building permit until the SCR is signed off by Watershed. This form
needs to be submitted to the email address located at the bottom of the form.
Sewer Tap Application: This application is required for all lots that intend to use sewer and
do not have an existing tap. If uncertain about whether a lot previously had a sewer tap,
please contact Watershed using the link below.
Addi
tional information regarding conversion from Septic to Sewer can be found on our forms site:
