Please email the Development Department before you begin so we may provide a side sewer drawing for your current line, also, please call 811 for utility locates before digging.

Water Meter Installations & Repairs

Soos Creek Water and Sewer District is responsible for all water service and meter installations within the District's service area. Connection charges, permits and construction deposits are required prior to installation. Meters for commercial properties, fire suppression and irrigation may have additional requirements such as backflow assemblage testing prior to meter installation.

Soos Creek does not require repair permits for maintenance on your private water line between the meter and the residence. Our maintenance responsibility stops at the meter. Property owners are responsible for the repair and maintenance of water pipes located on their property. We do not have location information for water pipes on private property. Please email Customer Service for leaks at the meter or in the right-of-way.
