New (Individual) Service Connections
Prior to Construction
Below is a step-by-step process for all the required information prior to construction of the water service:
Fill Out the Water Service Application & Professional Services Agreement
Fill out the top portion of the “New Water Service Application” (there are separate applications for residential or commercial connections) and send back to NPPWD along with plumbing plans (if commercial connection) – this will get you in touch with our Operations Department. You can either email the documents to [email protected], or you can drop them off to our office.
Depending on the development, additional Professional Service Fees may be assessed for plan review, construction observation, modeling, etc. Additional details will be supplied once you are in touch with the Operations Department. Please see the Professional Services Agreement Link.

Connection Fees are Calculated
Based on fixture counts we will identify the size of the service line as well as the appropriate meter size. We will let you know the total of the fees required to connect to North Park Public Water District using the information provided on the water service application. Please make sure the phone number and address listed on the application are accurate.
Connection Fees are Paid
At the time the fees are paid you will:
a. Receive a “New Service Permit” – we will need the information of the licensed plumber installing the service. To identify if the plumbers license is valid, please check with the Illinois Department of Public Health (link to IDPH Plumber License Verification Database ).
b. Receive an account number – we will need the address where the water bills should be sent to.

During & After Construction
Below is a step-by-step process for all the required information during and after construction of the water service:
Schedule Service Line Inspection
Coordinate with our office on when the service line will be installed. Our System Development Supervisor will need to inspect the installation prior to backfilling.
Schedule Meter Installation
Coordinate with our office when plumbing is complete and a meter should be installed. Water use is not allowed prior to the installation of the meter.
Schedule Curb Box Inspection
Coordinate with our office when the property is ready for a curb box inspection. In order to pass the inspection the curb box must be (1) at grade; (2) operable; (3) all exterior grading/landscaping must be complete. Once the curb box passes inspection, the $350 permit deposit will be refunded*.
* It is the District’s intent to have all new service installations completed and approved within six months of the substantial completion of the building. In the event the permitee fails to pass final inspection within this given time, the District reserves the right to make any and all corrections and retain the deposit. The point of construction which denotes “substantial completion” is the date the water meter is installed. Any costs for these corrections will be charged at Time and Material charges**, if costs beyond the deposit value are incurred, they will be billed to the owner of the property, payment will be required before the property can change hands.
