Efland Community Public Sewer Program Package In addition to the fees shown in Figure 1, there are some costs to connect to the system. A sewer stub-out, or tap, has to be installed on the new sewer line. The average cost is shown below. This cost will vary depending on whether you need to cross under a road to connect to the sewer line. You will need to have a plumber disconnect your house plumbing from your septic tank and connect to the sewer tap. The cost of this will vary depending on the distance the new sewer pipe has to go and other factors, such as trees or rock in the path of the trench. Once this is done, your septic tank will need to be abandoned by a licensed septic tank contractor. The cost of this operation will vary as well, depending on the location of the septic tank and how easy it is to get to it. An estimate of these costs is shown in Figure 2 below. Your costs may be higher or lower, as mentioned above, depending on your particular situation. All of these cost estimates are based on a conventional set of circumstances where the wastewater from your house can flow by gravity to the sewer line, the sewer line is on your property and there are no obstructions between your house and the new sewer line that would make trenching difficult. There may still be potential to connect to the sewer system if your property does not meet this description, but the costs could be significantly more, depending on your situation. *Example* Installation Costs 6,000.00 ■Estimated septic tank 5,000.00 abandonment cost (Based on an easily accessible 4,000.00 septic tank) $$ Estimated plumbing costs 3,000.00 (Based on 100 feet of 4 inch PVC line and no 2,000.00 obstructions to trenching) i 1,000.00 ❑Estimated sewer stub-out 1,572.40 cost (Based on a 4 inch connection on same side 0.00 of the street as the house) Costs Figure 2
