Petition Process for Utility Extensions

When a Petition is Required


The City will run city sewer to areas that are annexed into the city limits. For the City to actually extend sewer by individual houses in order for residents to tie on, a petition process must be followed.

Signature Requirements


The petition requires the signature of at least 51% of the lot owners owning at least 51% of the property in the area affected.

Cost & Payments


Once the petition is signed, an estimate is prepared on the total cost, and the property owners are advised of their estimated share of this cost. At that point, the property owners can decide if they want to go forward with the extension.
