The customer will connect the building to this line. Exemptions to this arrangement may occur. The Water and Sewer Department will tell you if you qualify for any exemptions. When you know you will definitely be building, that's the time to pay the fee that schedules you for the next available installation of water and sewer lines for the section installed by the City. The fees should be deposited when a building permit is obtained to prevent delays during construction.
Fees vary based on the size and type of building taking place.
Fees are set by the Harrisonburg City Council. Information about them is available at the Water and Sewer Department. The waiting period may depend on other work priorities and service requests, but your request for service is important to us and arrangements will be made as soon as possible. A City representative will visit the construction site two to five days prior to scheduled installation to discuss the grade and alignment of services with the customer or his representative. At the end of construction, and upon completion of the services by the Water Department and your builder, a home owner or a new business will move into the building and the City will have a new water and sewer customer.
