A Sewer Connection Permit must be issued by the Engineering and Transportation Department for all connections into the City of Concord Sanitary Sewer System. A Sewer Connection Permit must be issued for any construction requiring a Building Permit, prior to the final building inspection, where an initial connection is being made or an existing use is being increased. A Sewer Connection Permit for an existing structure not requiring a Building Permit must be issued prior to the issuance of a Sewer Lateral Inspection Permit and/or Encroachment Permit (for work in the public right-of-way).

C.ClaytonValley Stage II Surcharge Fees: for properties falling in the Clayton Valley Stage II trunk sewer area.
Trunk sewers serving the ClaytonValley area and parts of Concord reached capacity flow and a new trunk sewer was constructed. Property in the area identified on the map entitled "Clayton Valley Stage II Trunk Sewer Area Boundary" must pay a
Clayton Valley Surcharge, which the City reimburses to the private parties who constructed the line. This charge is as follows:
Single Family, 3-Bedroom Apartment$500.00 each

1-Bedroom or Studio Apartment, Secondary Living Unit 275.00 each
All Other Uses 100.00 per fixture
Note: Condominium or townhouse developments are charged at the same rate as apartments.
D.Sewer Stub Fees: for recovering the cost of sewer stubs built by the City in connection with major street projects (in order to eliminate future cutting of new pavement for purposes of sewer hookup).
Contract costs are recorded when the sewer stub is installed, and this cost is passed on to the property owner at the time of hookup. These fees may vary from $300 to approximately $2,000, depending upon location of the main in relation to the property, the need for a manhole, and the number of properties sharing in the cost of the stub.
E.Main Trunk Reimbursement and Main Sewer Reimbursement Fees: for reimbursing private parties their costs for constructing main trunk sewers and/or main sewers.
Any party constructing a main trunk sewer, or a main sewer extension (except when construction is done by an assessment district), that will potentially serve properties outside the scope of their project, is entitled to partial reimbursement of construction costs. Charges for any reimbursement agreements or Certificates of Entitlement to Reimbursement are collected with the connection fees. Reimbursements are individually calculated based on construction costs and total number properties to be served.
F.Credit for Connection Fees: credit for previous connection fees paid on a premise may be applied at the current rate toward a new connection on the same premise when demolishing a building and rebuilding a new structure, or upon removal and subsequent addition of new plumbing fixtures in a non-residential building.
