Inside Town limits: $450 meter tap fee for water and $450 sewer connection fee.
Outside Town limits: $500 meter tap fee for water only.
Sewer - (See Water section above for Town services inside Town limits) Outside Town limits you will need to provide your own septic system. Contact the Environmental Division of the Monroe County Health Department (in the office 8-9 AM, then out in the field the rest of the day). Hereâs how it works: When youâre ready for construction, fill out the application at the Courthouse Annex and pay the $250 fee. Within 5-10 working days the Environmentalist will visit the site and may require a soil evaluation (may be another $200 fee for soil testing, mapping, etc.). When the Environmentalist is satisfied, he/she will issue a permit describing the required system. You must obtain a licensed installer to construct the system according to the Permit and notify the Environmentalist when work is completed. The Environmentalist will inspect and issue a Certificate of Completion. For new construction, the electrical inspector must have a copy of the Cert. of Completion before he will allow the final elect. turn-on (State Law).
Electricity - Provided by Fort Loudoun Electric Cooperative ( http://flec.org ) throughout Monroe County. A temporary power pole may be purchased from a private contractor for use during construction. An initial fee of $5 for cooperative membership will be collected when you sign up for service. Electric Permits are required for Temporary, Rough-in, and Final inspections. Fees are based on the required service amperage: 0-200 will cost you $32, 201-400 $45, and 401-600 $55 for each inspection. The Permits may be purchased locally at Yates Home Store and Tallent Hardware, as well as Wholesale Supply and Sloan Center in Madisonville. The Permits must be purchased in person by either the owner or a licensed contractor in the employ of the owner.
