Purchasing Water & Sewer Taps
MWRD has adopted a new procedure for multiple tap purchases. With the continuing growth of our service area, it has become difficult to process several tap requests at the time of delivery. We now process tap requests as follows:
| Number of Taps | Time Needed To Complete |
|---|---|
| 1-5 | Can be processed immediately if receipt is needed. |
| 6-12 | Will be processed the same day if received before 10 AM. After 10AM, an effort will be made to complete in the same day but may have to be completed the next business day. |
| 12-20 | If received before 10 AM, these will be completed by the end of the next business day. |
| 21-50 | Will be completed by the end of the third business day after submission. |
| 51 or More | Will be completed by the end of the fifth business day after submission. |
*For quantities of 6 or more, the receipt can be emailed, mailed, or we can contact you upon completion and the receipt can be picked up.
