Get an Orleans Sewer Hookup Estimate

How Much Does It Cost to Connect to the Sewer System in Orleans?

The short answer: it depends. Every property is a little different, so costs can vary quite a bit. Things like how far your home’s plumbing is from the street connection, how deep the pipes are, and what’s underground (rocks, ledge, utilities, or even high groundwater) can all affect the final price.

As an Orleans homeowner, you’re responsible for the full cost of connecting your home to the sewer. The contract you sign with your engineer or contractor is private, so prices can vary depending on who you hire and what your property needs.

When planning your budget, keep in mind you’ll have a few required permits and professional services to pay for, including:

• Sewer Connection Permit: $0.50 per gallon of average daily water use, or $250 — whichever is greater

• Board of Health Septic System Abandonment Permit: $75

• Engineering (plans, specs, and permit applications): usually between $2,000 and $8,000

• Construction (connecting your house to the sewer, removing your old septic system, and restoring your yard or driveway): usually between $5,000 and $25,000
