Connecting to Central Sewer Procedures

PROCEDURES FOR CONNECTING TO THE
TANEY COUNTY REGIONAL SEWER DISTRICT
CENTRAL SEWER SYSTEM

The Taney County Regional Sewer District has two (2) types of collection systems: a
low-pressure sewer system that requires an individual grinder pump and service line;
and, a gravity flow system that requires a service line only.

Low Pressure Sewer System
When connecting to a low-pressure sewer system the property owner is responsible for
obtaining an individual grinder pump and all the necessary apparatuses to connect to
the system. The grinder pump utilized must be of the type and design as approved by
the Taney County Regional Sewer District’s Board of Trustees. Also, as per the Grinder
Pump Policy approved by the Board May 2, 2006, there is a one time Impact Fee
charged per grinder pump core in the amount of $1,995.00.

Gravity Flow System
When connecting to a gravity flow system the property owner is responsible for
obtaining all the necessary apparatuses to connect to the system:

¾ The minimum pipe size for a building sewer service line is four inches (4”) SDR 35 PVC
sewer pipe or Schedule 40 can be used for the service line.
¾ A four-inch (4”) two-way sweep cleanout should be located within five feet (5’) of the
residence.
¾ A 4” x 8” saddle shall be used for the mainline tap. This may be of the solvent weld or
neoprene type.

Each of the above referenced systems requires a permit to be posted on the property and
a 24-hour notice for the inspection to be performed. Once the connection has been
inspected and approved, the system may then be placed in operation.

For properties requiring a grinder pump to facilitate connection to the sewer main the
owner as stated in the connection fee schedule shall assume the responsibility of
operation and maintenance of the grinder pump themselves. Any unit that is connected to
the District’s low-pressure system as previously stated, must be of type and design as
approved by the Sewer District’s Board of Trustees.
