developer policy manual - Grand Strand Water and Sewer Authority

PREFACE
The purpose of this manual is to provide for the orderly development of water and
wastewater systems to meet the needs of residents, businesses, and visitors in the Grand
Strand Water and Sewer Authority service area. The guidelines have been developed
with the intent to accommodate the individuality of each project while maintaining high
standards and an orderly procedure.
The policies and procedures set forth by this manual are applicable to all utility
contractors, engineers, developers and others installing water and/or sewer facilities
connecting to GSWSA systems. These high standards and the professional processes are
necessary to control the quality and overall integrity of water and sewer extensions of
which GSWSA assumes operational and maintenance responsibility and to ensure the
water and wastewater systems will provide low maintenance and reliable service to the
customers of GSWSA.
Although efforts have been made to make this document thorough and reflective of
GSWSA requirements for customers who wish to connect to the GSWSA system, it is
recommended that contact be made with GSWSA on a continued basis to ensure
familiarity and compliance with the most current policy standards prior to planning water
and/or wastewater system extensions. The GSWSA reserves the right to revise this
policy manual without prior notice in order to provide water and sewer systems of the
highest integrity possible.
