What is a sewer tap?

A sewer tap is the physical connection between your property and the city or county’s main sewer line. If you’re building a new home or replacing an old system, this connection is critical—and often requires permitting, inspection, and professional installation.

What It Involves:

• Locating the city main line near the street or easement

• Excavating a trench to access the line

• Installing a wye or saddle fitting

• Running new pipe to your home or building

• Backfilling, compacting, and restoring the surface

Do You Need One?

If you’re not on a septic system and your property isn’t already connected to the sewer, yes—this is your path to proper wastewater drainage.

Why It Matters:

Sewer taps must meet local code, pass inspection, and handle the right slope and depth. C&C handles it all, from permits to paving.
