When Do I Need to Get My Sewer Permit?
Before you can obtain a building permit, you must have both your Land Use Application and Sewer Permit.
- You will need to obtain your Land Use Application from the Hamilton Township Supervisors' office and provide a copy of that permit to our office as part of your sewer permit application.
- You can make application for your sewer permit and pay the applicable tapping fee at our office in person or electronically through our website.
Permit Fees & Payment
Payment of permit fees can now be made electronically through our website at the link above. If you do not want to pay electronically, then payment must either be mailed or brought to our office at: 1270 Crottlestown Road, Chambersburg. Costs for all Non-Domestic permit applications are based upon estimated usage.
Non-Domestic Sewer Permit Costs:
- Tapping Fee per EDU - $4,500.00 -- Refer to detail below
- Permit Fee - 25.00
- If your sewer connection will use a grinder pump, there will be a Sewage Pump Agreement Filing Fee of $38.50.
NOTE: All Non-Domestic accounts must install a water meter on the outside of the building, as all bills will be based upon actual consumption.
With regard to a Commercial Establishment, as defined by Hamilton Township Ordinance No. 37, as amended from time to time, and/or Non-Domestic Establishments, as defined by HTMA Resolution No. 32, as amended, each Commercial Establishment must apply initially for its projected required EDUs and pay the then current Tapping Fee per each EDU reserved. If a Commercial Establishment exceeds its retained EDUs, it must pay the current Tapping Fee per each EDU utilized in excess of its retained capacity. The initial determination of the number of EDUs shall be based on information provided by the applicant. Such information must be reasonably accurate, and if found to be in error by more than ten (10) percent, HTMA shall have the right to make suitable upward adjustments in all applicable fees. No refunds, however, shall be available for any decrease in estimated EDU consumption of sewerage capacity.
The daily EDU rate for non-residential uses will be calculated as follows:
Daily Flow (gallons per day) / Act 57 Flow (gpd/EDU) = Number of EDU’s per day
Example: Daily flow rate of 325 gallons per day (1 EDU = 234 gpd/EDU)
325gpd / 234 gal. = 1.39 EDU’s
