Connection Forms

|
General Connection Form
This form applies to the majority of typical service connections. If the work being done is for a modification or repair please obtain a service modification form from the Commission. If this connection requires the use of manholes, multiple connection points, or is for an industrial use please obtain a Special or Industrial service application form from the Commission as needed. This form also includes the Septic System Status Form.
Special Connection Form
This form is for new connections or for modifications to existing connections which require special permits. This form is generally required when the connection requires the use of manholes, has multiple connection points, or as otherwise required by the LSDC's. This form also includes the Septic System Status Form.
Service Modification Form
This form is required for any work being done to an existing service connection, such as the relocation or resizing of a service line.
Change In Use Form
This form is required whenever a facility already connected to the Commission's sewer is proposing any change that will result in a change of the characteristics or quantity of flow, or which changes the total number of originally bettered units.
Industrial Discharge Form
This is required for any industrial uses. In addition, industrial discharges will need authorization from the Massachusetts Water Resources Authority.
Flow Credit Transfer Form
This form may be required in addition to the General and Special Connection Forms, Change In Use, and Service Modification forms. This will always be required for all new construction connections and in all other instances where the new connection is NOT replacing a failed septic system as determined by the Septic System Status Form or where a change in the existing service results in an increase of flow to the LSDC's system.
