The Metropolitan District (MDC) requires an Availability/Capacity review be completed prior to moving forward with applications for a new or modification of an existing water service, sanitary sewer connection or combined sewer/storm drain connection (Hartford only). This process is also required for developer extensions of MDC’s infrastructure (Developer Permit Agreement process) and for a Change-in-Use (i.e. change from commercial/industrial to residential, or increase to unit counts). The intent of this process is to research the capability of the existing District water distribution system and/or wastewater collection, pump stations and treatment system to meet the needs of the planned development.

To start the application process, the form below must be completed. Staff will review the information and an invoice will be sent for the administrative fee of $670.00 per utility. Please allow up to 14 days for the initial review and issuing of the invoice. The full analysis process requires approximately 6-8 weeks from receipt of payment. District staff will contact you if more information is required.
