Does MSD always allow encroachments?
No. There are several factors MSD must consider before a decision is made as to whether or not an encroachment will be allowed. Some of those factors include: the size and type (storm, sanitary or combined) of sewer; the location and depth of the sewer relative to the proposed encroachment; the type of encroachment; the condition of the sewer; and the proposed foundation design. Building encroachments are generally not allowed.
