If you are building a new home or want to connect an existing dwelling to the South Kingstown wastewater system, you need to obtain an approval letter from the Wastewater Division.
Application and Fees
Call the Wastewater Division office at 789-9331 extension 2257 to start the process (or click on the attachment below for an application form). After confirming that sewer service is available, a letter will be prepared for the owner's signature. Sixty ($60.00) dollars in miscellaneous review, inspection and permit fees must be paid at the time the letter is issued.
In addition, there is a one time "System Assessment Fee" that must be paid prior to physical connection to the sewers. The System Assessment Fee is $1,800.00 per residential unit ($1,800.00 for a one family home; $3,600.00 for a two family, etc.). Non-residential properties should call the Wastewater Division office to have the System Assessment Fee calculated.
Sewer Permit and Sewer Line Inspection
