My connection letter states that I am required to replumb, and that two site visits will be required by the wastewater contractor because I am scheduled to provide the initial flow for WWTP when it goes on-line. When do I need to replumb?
In order to facilitate an immediate connection to the wastewater system once the WWTP goes on-line, the wastewater contractor will make the first visit to your property on the date stated in your letter, before the WWTP is operational. During this visit the wastewater contractor will install the vacuum pit and service lateral, and will leave a stub for your plumber to connect to. You should have your plumber replumb your site soon after the first visit by the wastewater contractor. There are two main options for doing replumbing in advance and facilitating a final connection to the new sewer once the wastewater treatment plant is ready to receive flow. One option is leave out a small piece of the new plumbing and connect it later once the plant is running. A second option is to add valves, one on the old house plumbing and another on the new so that flow can be directed to the new sewer system when the time is right. Your plumber can advise you as to which option would work best for yo
