New Development

The Engineering department serves as a point of contact for developers, engineers, and contractors interested in obtaining water and/or wastewater services for commercial and residential development, road construction, or redevelopment within the boundaries of the City of Sumter’s service area.  Responsibilities include service availability determination, hydrostatic flow testing, fee calculations, technical plan review, permitting, and project closeout.

To assist developers, engineers, and contractors with the requirements for extending water and wastewater service for new development and road construction a set of quality standards was developed.  These standards have been adopted by City of Sumter Council.  The engineering standards are maintained on our website and shall be utilized in the design and construction of all water, wastewater, storm drainage, and road systems.
