What is the Sewer Capacity Certification (Allocation Letter) used for?
Federal regulations require certain permit applicants to obtain a Sewer Capacity Certification letter before being issued a building permit. This letter certifies that the sewer system can handle the demands that your permit will require. Due to an overloaded sewer system, there might not be enough capacity to handle your request. But, you can apply for and obtain certification before you submit building plans, saving you time and money.
