I got the quote for the sewer tap fees from New Albany / Columbus today. As usual, they're outrageous:
The tap fee is $130
The Columbus Capacity Fee is $3,044
The New Albany Capacity Fee is $1,522.00
The Inspection Fee is $85
For a grand total of $4781
Mind you that doesn't pay for ANY work to be done, it's just the fees to the various government agencies for the privelege of using a sewer.
We checked the list of companies from NA that were approved to do the work and cross checked with Angie's list. We're waiting on bids from three of them.
The surveyor is having to go back out and get elevations for the manhole to see what depth we need to be at so this doesn't need a pump. Gravity fed sounds cheaper to me.
