Sanitation
Proof of sanitation will be required at the time you submit for a building permit. Proof consists of either an application for a septic system (including engineering design) or a letter from your sewer district stating that they will serve your needs for new construction.
Currently, most sewer districts will review your plans and stamp them with their authorization, which is preferred. As of this writing, the following sewer districts exist:
- Granby Sanitation District
- Kremmling Sanitation District
- Silver Creek Water and Sanitation
- Three Lakes Water and Sanitation
- Tabernash Sanitation District
- Winter Park West Water and Sanitation
Your property may not be located in a sanitation district, or the district may not be able to serve you. Verify this before you proceed with plans for a septic system.
Water
Within most municipalities water service is provided; check with the town. In unincorporated Grand County, water service is not always available; check with the sanitation district serving your property.
