New Service Connections

The JSA requires permits for various activities in relation to the publicly owned wastewater system, including:

Connection Permits - A fully executed Sanitary Sewer Connection Permit is required for all new connections and reconnections to the publicly owned wastewater system. Fees associated with the sanitary sewer connection permit may be found in our current rate schedule. Connection Permits may be completed at our office located at 621 Northview Street in Paducah. A six inch cleanout is required at the point of connection at the right-of-way or easement line.

Disconnection Permits - A Disconnection Permit is required when service to a location is disconnected. This is generally when a residence or building is being demolished. The current property owner of the building to be demolished is disconnect the private lateral from the JSA system at the roadway right-of-way line, and place a cap over the remainder of the lateral connected to the sewer main. No fees for this permit is required, however, a JSA staff member is to inspect the cap prior to backfill being placed in the trench. Disconnection Permits may be completed at our office located at 621 Northview Street in Paducah or at the City of Paducah Inspection Department located at the Paducah City Hall, 300 South 5th Street.

Persons wishing to apply to connect for service should stop by our office at 621 Northview Street in Paducah and complete a sanitary sewer connection permit. Connection fees and billing will be according to our current rate schedule.
