Who installs or upgrades utilities?

Utility Providers and Public Agencies
Primary utility installation and upgrades—such as electricity, water, sewer, and gas—are performed by the respective utility companies or public utility departments responsible for those services in the region.

  • Power, water, and gas providers handle infrastructure extensions and meter setups
  • Municipal public works or sanitation departments manage public sewer and stormwater upgrades
  • Coordination with these entities is required through formal application and permitting

Private Contractors and Engineering Firms
Developers often hire licensed contractors or civil engineering firms to design, trench, and install on-site utility infrastructure. These professionals work in coordination with utility providers to meet service standards and code requirements.

  • Contractors install conduit, water lines, sewer laterals, and vaults on-site
  • Engineers provide stamped drawings and oversee code-compliant installation
  • Work must pass inspections by the utility provider before activation

Managed Through Development Agreements and Permits
Utility installation is governed by permits and service agreements that define roles, responsibilities, and standards for new connections or upgrades. Approval from both utility companies and local jurisdictions is required before work begins.

  • Developers submit load calculations, connection plans, and utility applications
  • Permitting ensures safe, legal, and coordinated installation across all systems
  • Final inspections and as-built drawings are required for service activation
