2. 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.
3. Summit County has helped by
securing financing for the
improvements through the
issuance of Assessment Bonds
bearing a 0% interest rate. The
assessment will be paid for by the
property owners in annual
installments for a period of twenty
(20) years
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. 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.
8. 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.
9. 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.
