Those costs will vary on the configuration of the lot and the distance from the <br /> house to the main sewer line. Those costs are typically the costs of the homeowner <br /> and are estimated to be about $20/foot. The connections to an individual house would <br /> be provided by a private plumbing contractor. <br /> The next step to move the concept plan forward would be to begin the preliminary <br /> engineering and design work. Engineers would be hired to take this concept, go out in <br /> the field and start the process of data collection and defining the details of the concept. <br /> OWASA has estimated the preliminary engineering costs would be $376,350. That is a <br /> rough estimate based on what is known of the area so far. A completed preliminary <br /> engineering and design will be necessary to complete a Community Development Block <br /> Grant application. <br /> Sewer Recommendations: <br /> The Task Force has discussed all or part of the proposed $5.8 million dollar sewer <br /> concept plan, but has not yet recommended moving forward with this concept plan, <br /> pending an agreement on a cost sharing plan for sewer improvements. <br /> 7 <br />
