As of March 31, 2003, only persons engaged in the business of sewer construction, who have successfully completed the Sewer Tapper Certification Program, are allowed to tap Sanitation District No. 1's sewer system. Additionally, all taps/connections made to the system and all abandoned taps will require and inspection by a District representative. These changes were initiated for the following reasons:
- To help eliminate the number of illegal and improper taps being made throughout the collection system.
- To help maintain the integrity of the sewer system by reducing the amount of storm water inflow and infiltration that can enter the system through bad taps.
- To ensure that old taps are abandoned properly.
- To provide an avenue for the District to keep certified tappers informed about changes to the Rules & Regulations or specifications for tapping the system.
