PUMP/LATERAL INSTALLATION, REPLACEMENT, & RELOCATION

  1. If you are remodeling, or adding an addition to an existing structure, building a new home or structure, or needing to relocate your existing grinder pump, or replace it, it is critical that you use a pump that is consistent with and conforms with the pumps being used within the District boundaries.
  2. At your expense, you must purchase a 2HPZOGP Series Grinder – 24ov/1ph grinder pump and install the grinder pump to receive all sewage from your structure, then connect said grinder pump to the ESCD's line.
  3. YOU MUST USE THE VENDOR approved by the District at that time to do the work.
  4. YOU MUST NOTIFY the ESCD in writing (email is sufficient – ESCDistrict@gmail.com), obtain a permit, and pay the inspection fee in effect at the time.
  5. 4. IF YOU FAIL TO DO ANY OF THE ABOVE, the District has the authority to disconnect the connection to the ESCD's system without notice to the owner until the pump and/or lateral lines are uncovered by the owner at the owner's sole expense and the pump and laterals are inspected by ESCD to ensure everything meets the District's standards, at no liability to the ESCD whatsoever.
