Have Questions?

Common Questions Before You Start

Got questions regarding city permitting, pipe sizing, or testing intervals? Here is how we keep your project completely code compliant.

In the Dallas–Fort Worth metroplex, a sewer tap requires a Right-of-Way (ROW) excavation permit, a municipal plumbing or underground utility permit, approved civil utility drawings, and an active Texas licensed plumber/utility contractor bond registered with the local municipality. D&R Utilities coordinates directly with city engineering departments to secure all sub-surface approvals before trenching.
