1. How do I get a permit to tap into the sewer?

The land owner must come to the district office located at 8100 State Route 708 South. The district office is approximately 1 mile from SR 33 on SR 708. Simply provide our office with the name of the previous owner (if applicable), the address, and the lot and/or parcel Identification number (your tax ID number for the property). This information is normally available on your property deed /tax bill
or through the Logan County Auditor’s Office.

Also, you are required to have your permit for sanitary sewer
prior to applying to the Logan County Building Authority when building a new structure or changing an established structure.

2. How do I find where my tap is for sewer connection?

The most important thing to do is to make sure you have access to the sanitary sewer before purchasing or attempting to develop property. Do not assume that because other properties in the area are connected that sanitary sewer is available to your property also. It may not be. Come to the office at 8100 State Route 708 South with your property information and we will provide you with information that is needed to determine whether sanitary sewer is available.

Once it is established that sanitary sewer is available you may apply for a tap-in permit. We will locate where your tap is on the main line sewer or where connection is possible on the mainline. We always mark sanitary sewer lines in green paint or flags according to Ohio Utilities Protection Service (O.U.P.S.) Codes.

3. Why does my billing run the same amount each month?

We bill a flat rate for the month. This is an approved method by the Ohio EPA. Payment is due by the 18th of each month for the previous month’s usage. Basically, we bill you after you use it.
We have no vacation rate as this is a resort area. The billing is for the year and broken down into 12 monthly payments.

There may be a “debt rate” available for dwellings that have been deemed by the district as “unusable.” This may be because the dwelling has been severely damaged by fire or major renovation is taking place. Changes in the billing rate are effective only for the billing month in which we are notified of the change in status of the property being served. Adjustments will not be made if we are not notified in a timely manner. We must verify that the property is not usable to obtain any reduced rate. Seasonal usage is not a valid reason for reduction. Please call 937-843-3328 for more information.

4. Who is the authority over the Logan County WPC?

The Logan County Commissioners are the governing authority of the Logan County Water Pollution Control. We are considered
a “Special Sanitary Sewer District” under the Ohio Revised Code 6117, and are not under the auspices of the P.U.C.O. (Public Utilities Commission of Ohio). We are then governed by the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, specifically the Southwest District Office out of Dayton, Ohio.

5. What is the cost of a sanitary sewer permit?

Well, it depends. For most of our customers the cost is $350 plus the cost of an isolation valve. This charge consists of a $100 inspection fee and a $250 discharge fee for a single dwelling unit. An isolation valve is now required for all new installations and reconnects to the sanitary sewer. A 4” valve is $80 and a 6” valve is $265. This valve and locator cap is provided to either the homeowner or the contractor, whichever is appropriate. Regardless, only the landowner may apply for a sanitary sewer permit. For those who are developing multi-unit housing the cost can vary. Always check with the district office prior to any construction project.

Please Note: Occasionally there are aggregate connection or assessment charges associated with a particular property. Please check with our office at 937-843-3328 if these apply to the property you are considering purchasing.

6. When am I not required to hook up to the sanitary sewer?

Connection to the sanitary sewer is not required when your dwelling is 200 feet or more from the available sanitary sewer line. Please check with our office at 937-843-3328 on any concerns you may have before any decisions are made regarding any construction projects that may involve sanitary sewer.

7. Can you automatically take my monthly payment from my checking/savings account?

Yes! We can automatically draft your payment each month so you never need to worry about missing a payment again! Call 937-843-3328 and ask for the paperwork to sign up for “Auto-Draft.”
