If you have been thinking about hooking on to SIRWA for the first time, adding another service or maybe adding a service for livestock, there are a few simple steps to follow:
FIRST STEPS
1. Call our office (641) 782-5744, or print out and complete the add-on request form located at the bottom and send via e-mail, fax, or regular mail. 2. We will come out to locate exactly where you want the water so we can decide which pipeline would provide the optimum connection. 3. Once the location is determined, a cost estimate will be made and sent to you.
YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES
1. Obtaining signed land easements from any neighbors whose ground must be crossed by water lines to get to your location.. 2.Notifying neighbors whose ground must be crossed that SIRWA will be on their land and any construction disturbing the land will be returned to its original condition in a timely manner.
FACTORS AFFECTING COST
1. Distance from existing pipeline to pit location. 2. Cost of pipe at the time of request. 3. Availability of the "Added User Program" (currently there is up to $2,000 available to help with the cost of bringing the pipeline to you).
CURRENT COSTS
$100 membership fee for association
$200 land easement fee (waived if line is already on property from previous construction)
$500 connection fee
$75 minimum cost of cleanup fee
TOTAL $875 plus the cost, per foot, to bring pipeline to your location.
Added user program will cover the first $2,000 of construction cost to bring the pipeline to you. You will be responsible for construction costs over $2,000.
