HOW TO RESERVE SEWER CAPACITY FOR A PARCEL OF LAND:
If you wish to reserve sewer capacity for a commercial and residential development, the cost per gallon-per-day of sewer capacity is $30.00 / gpd within the City’s Water and Sewer Service Area. In all cases, the developer should contact Cumming Utilities to determine sewer capacity reservation costs, water meter costs, and water and sewer infrastructure improvement needs associated with each parcel.
How to Calculate Residential Sewer Capacity Charges:
The following formula is used to calculate residential sewer capacity charges:
- Number of Units X 250 gpd/unit X $30.00 = $7,500 per unit.

Currently, sewer capacity is limited and is assigned to properties on a case-by-case basis by the Mayor and Council.
