Application Process

New or amended service to any property in the District requires review by LTWD to evaluate the ability to serve the property with domestic water or water required for fire protection. This evaluation begins with a pre-application meeting and submitting a completed Development Application that identifies what is being requested for new or amended service to a property. Completed Development Applications should be submitted via email to development@ltwd.org.

The District holds regular pre-application meetings at the District offices on the second and fourth Wednesday of each month from 9:00 am to 11:00 am. A pre-application meeting may be scheduled with the scheduling link.

As a part of the planning, entitlement, and permitting process for new or modified water service to a property, a commitment letter may be requested by the local land planning agency. The commitment letter will identify what is required to provide service to the property according to the information provided on the Development Application. This provision of water service may require on-site or off-site infrastructure improvements and water right dedication.

Development of any new subdivision will require a development agreement that outlines the responsibilities of the developer and the District. 

Construction of any water system infrastructure shall adhere to District-approved plans following a preconstruction meeting and District-approved submittals.  Construction of water system improvements shall follow the District’s Specifications as found in Section 6 of the District Rules and Regulations and the District’s standard details, as applicable.
