PLUMBER

Water Service Applications: Do you have questions regarding water service applications? Call (608) 266-4646. Please make sure all applications are on file before beginning work. Failure to do so may result in your customer being denied water service.

When is a plumber required to submit an application for water service?

When they need to:

  • Connect to an existing water service (need to get the signature of a master plumber),
  • Install a new water service (need to get the signature of a master plumber and the property owner),
  • Replace a water service (need to get the signature of a master plumber and the property owner),
  • Change the location of the water meter, its inlet or outlet, valves, the meter bypass, or meter test piping (need to get the signature of a master plumber),
  • Install sewer deduct meters--no fee required (need to get the signature of a master plumber).
