Stuart, FL Sewer Hook Ups

We Offer Septic-Sewer Conversions Throughout Martin County

Need a sewer hook up? Residents and business owners in the the Martin County and Stuart area that have had septic all these years are slowly but surely getting sewers installed by the city and county and have only about 2 years to hook up or connect to the sewer in order to eliminate their septic systems.

The Martin County Septic to Sewer (S2S) Conversion Program is a long-term program begun in early 2015 that is being deployed in phases. The first areas being converted to sewer are in areas that the County’s engineers deem the need is most significant.

Three Reasons to Convert to a Sewer System

According to Martin County, it is important to switch from septic to sewer for the following three main reasons:

• Health reasons – Septic water can get into groundwater.
• Environmental reasons – Septic may contribute to algae blooms.
• Economic reasons – For fishing, tourism and other depending on clean waterways.

The Septic-Sewer Conversion Process: What to Expect

Residential sewer connections are taking place in the waterfront communities in the Martin County and the Stuart area. The city pre-installs the sewer system in streets. Then the city will give you a 2 year window to within which you must connect or ‘hook up’ to the new sewer system and disconnect your septic systems. 

The city pays for the sewer anyway, so they might as well link it up. This means the total elimination of septic systems in some areas. This includes pumping the existing septic tank, and breaking the bottom that allows for  the rerouting of the system from house to city sewer.

While these sewer hookups are both for businesses as well as homes, 90% of hook ups are residential.
