Silver Creek Sewer Expansion Project
What:The Silver Creek Sewer Expansion Project will provide sanitary sewer improvements to some commercial
and residential properties within the Silver Creek Estates
subdivision. These properties are currently on septic systems.
Summit County has helped by securing financing for the
improvements through the issuance of Assessment Bondsbearing a 0% interest rate. The
assessment will be paid for by the property owners in annual
installments for a period of twenty (20) years
Since this is a voluntary assessment area, properties within the boundaries of the
assessment area were not required to participate but did so by
voluntarily agreeing to inclusion through signing a waver on or
before March 29, 2017.
Once the assessment is established, new construction and lots with
failing systems will be required to hook into the sewer system. Septic
permits will no longer be issued within the boundaries of the
assessment area.
Those properties not included within the initial assessment area may be
added to the assessment area in future years. Each new zone will
reflect an incremental increase in the annual assessment which will be paid
by any properties added to the assessment area.
After the public system is installed, tested and approved, property owners may apply for connection to the sewer
stub by submitting a Wastewater Service Application to Snyderville Basin
Water Reclamation District.
If approved, property owners must hire their own contractor to extend
sewer lateral from the stub to connection at their building.
Properties that connect to the Snyderville Basin Water Reclamation District for sanitary sewer service are subject to any additional impact fees
or connection fees charged by the District.
Construction began in mid-July and is projected to be completed by mid-
September
How long will it take?
Why is this being done?The improvements are the result of an
effort to preserve our natural resources and protect groundwater by
removing potential contamination from aging and failing septic systems.
