Sanitary Sewers
The Town of North Branford’s sanitary sewer system consists
of three separate systems, geographically located in three different parts of
town. Approximately 35% of the Town’s developed properties are serviced by the
Town’s sewage system. The sewerage systems consist of gravity sewers, force
mains, and 5 pump stations. The Department maintains records of all sanitary
sewer installations in town. Prior to any work being completed on the sanitary
sewer system, a permit must be issued by the Engineering Department; this
includes any connection, repair, or modification to the sanitary sewer system. The permit application shall be supplemented by any
plans, specifications, or other information considered pertinent in judgement
of the Town Engineer.

Septic Systems
For
areas where public sewers are not available, properties are most likely
connected to on-site subsurface sewage disposal systems, also called septic
systems. Septic System Permits can be coordinated through the East Shore
