Permits

A separate permit must be obtained by all owners, contractors, or builders engaged in the replacement, repair or construction of Sanitary Sewers and building services within the jurisdiction of the South Lyons Township Sanitary District.
If your project is within the sewer service area of the South Lyons Township Sanitary District, you are obligated to contact the District office and comply with their permit requirements.
Following are General Provisions, Insurance Requirements, and Permit Applications that can be downloaded and printed. Please contact our office at the number(s) listed above with any questions.
Before a Sewer repair/disconnect/construction project can be completed an inspection must be done and approved by our superintendent. If you complete your job without an inspection you may be required to re-dig the project, so that an inspection can be made.
