Water, Sewer and Stormwater Easements
All easements must be submitted in the proper City-approved format. All easements must be conveyed to the City of Cumming on the City’s approved easement document and must be accompanied by a legal description and a perimeter survey of the easement area.
PLEASE DO NOT RECORD EASEMENTS WITHOUT CITY APPROVAL!!
No easements will be accepted unless approved by the Cumming Utilities prior to recording at the Clerk of Court’s office.
Please return executed easement forms to:
Cumming Utilities
100 Main Street
Cumming, Georgia 30040.
The City must proof-read each easement to make sure it meets our requirements (i.e. just having a recorded plat is not enough). Once approved, the City will record the easement and cross-reference applicable vesting deeds so that the easement will clearly bind successors in title.
If you fail to follow these rules, the City will not issue any permits and will not issue any C.O.’s on permits that may have already been granted. In addition, no water meters will be set until these requirements are met.
Please submit a check to the City of Cumming made out to the “FORSYTH COUNTY CLERK OF COURT” at the rate of $=10.00 for the first page to be recorded plus $2.00 for each additional page (4 pages would equate to $10.00 + $2.00 + $2.00 + $2.00 = $16.00). An additional $2.00 is required for a “cross-reference” to another deed.
Sewer Capacity
Sewer Capacity must be purchased prior to plan review – sewer capacity is limited and is assigned to properties on a case-by-case basis by the Mayor and Council. There is no guarantee of sewer capacity unless it has been purchased up-front. Please contact the Director of Utilities with questions regarding sewer capacity availability.
Water and Sewer Master Plan
All development must meet the requirements of the most current edition of the Cumming Water Master Plan and the Cumming Sewer Master Plan.
Water System Hydraulic Analysis
All new development must meet the City’s minimum requirements for fire protection and system pressure. A hydraulic analysis is required to verify these standards are met. In addition, as-built flow tests are required for all new fire hydrants within a development prior to approval of the final plat.
