Additional Connection Permits

When a resident needs a new service connection to the Town's Infrastructure an Additional Connection Permit is required. This includes water, storm, or sanitary lateral services.

Additional Connection Permit Application

 Frequently Asked Questions
 
 Why do I need a permit?
An Additional Connection Permit is required because the applicant would be doing the connection in the municipal right of way. The Town will want to ensure the proper steps are taken when doing the work and the Town can monitor. If the Town is not satisfied with the work that takes place there are penalties.
 Who needs to be present during the work?
  • The Town's Water and Waster Water department: to do the watermain connection and monitor the sanitary and storm connections
  • The Town's Engineering Department: to monitor the works conducted
  • The Designing engineer's representative
 Application Process
 1. Applicant fills out Additional Connection Permit (ACP) Application Form and a Roads Occupancy Permit        (ROP) form if required.

2. The Additional Connection Permit Application requires:
  a. Submission of drawings stamped by a Professional Civil Engineer for the location and design of the service connections. All materials shall be supplied and installed to Town Standards.
  b. A cost estimate of the works to be completed on Municipal property.
  c. Proof of Insurance.
  d. Securities in the form of a Certified Cheque in the amount of 100% of the cost estimate (amount to be determined once the design is approved.)
3. The applications are submitted to customer service.
  a. In person
  b. Via email to engineering@midland.ca
4. Operations will manage the ROP application as per its procedures if required.
5. Engineering will review the ACP and the Manager of Engineering or designate approves or declines the permit.
  a. Permit may be declined if:
     i. Application submitted on or after the work date requested.
     ii. If the permit is not legible.
     iii. Proper Insurance coverage is not supplied (min. $5 million.)
     iv. A security in the form of a Certified Cheque in the amount of 100% of the cost estimate is not supplied.
     v. Legal issues – Applicant/contractor is deficient on other outstanding ROP’s or other municipal permits.
6. Engineering contacts applicant with approved/declined permit decision.
7. Engineering issues the Permit once the required securities and insurance are submitted.
8. The Applicant must request an inspection from Engineering and the Water Department 24 hours in advance of construction commencing. Backfilling cannot be completed until Engineering and Water departments approve the installation.
9. The Applicant requires full time inspection from the designing engineer during the course of the work. The designing engineer is to provide the Town with a sign-off letter approving the work that was completed.
10. The Applicant must request a final inspection from Engineering upon completion of the works. Once the reinstatement of the boulevard and roadway is completed to an original state or better the Security will be released. If the work is not completed to the Town’s satisfaction the Town has the right to cash the securities to complete the work and return any remaining security to the Applicant.

 Insurance Required
 Applicant must maintain and pay for Comprehensive General Liability Insurance.

  • The insurance must be a minimum of $5 million.
  • Insurance policy must include The Corporation of the Town of Midland as an additional insured party.
