Sewer & Water Line Connections

What you should know about connecting to the city sewer system

In order to get a new sewer line connected to a city sewer system, there are permits and inspections required to complete the installation correctly. New residences and commercial or industrial buildings within a city’s water and sewer service area must connect to the city’s water and sewer system prior to occupying the building or residence. Each city’s requirements vary slightly. But most likely the city will need to inspect all new connections before water service is activated. TLC is a full-service company, we will obtain the necessary permits to start the work and get the inspections when our work is complete to ensure proper installation and connection.

Connecting to city water systems

TLC is qualified to connect new water lines to the city water system in many cities in New Mexico, including Albuquerque, Santa Fe, Corrales, Los Lunas & Belen. Whether you’re a new home or business that needs to connect to the city water system or you are looking to disable your private well, TLC is able to handle the entire project. TLC has extensive experience connecting new water lines and making repairs to existing water lines. New technology has also emerged allowing water lines to be installed through a process called thrust boring. This process allows for water lines to be installed without digging up trenches. TLC will evaluate your property to see if thrust boring is the best approach or if traditional trenching is best for your installation. However, just like sewer line installation water line connections require permitting and inspections before water can be used from the city system. TLC is experienced in permitting and inspection processes for most New Mexico cities to ensure proper connection and installation.
