In July of 2007, Mason County Commissioners passed Ordinance 91-07 establishing that properties within 500 feet of the proposed sewer alignment in the Belfair Urban Growth Area will be required to hook into the sewer system as it becomes available.
Properties required to hook into the system will have a “stub” at their parcel line to build into. Each location of a stub is property-dependent. Generally speaking, locations were selected based upon location of nearby underground utilities, driveways, etc. Property owners will need to build side sewers from their building to the stub at their property line. More information is available in the Sewer Fact Sheet.
Property owners within 500 feet of the proposed sewer alignment will be required to hook into the system as it becomes available (per Mason County Ordinance 91-07). If tying into the sewer system is applicable to your property, you should have received a letter with details about your hookup. If you have questions, please contact us via the project hotline or e-mail.
Deadlines for hookup to the sewer have not yet been established, however, the system is slated to begin to come online in spring 2011. A schedule will be established so that property owners know the trajectory of hookup, septic system decommissioning, and sewer utility start-up.
Mason County continues to seek possible financing options for those who will be required to hook up to the sewer utility. To date, the following opportunities exist or are being researched:
