Municipal sewer service allows higher density development than septic systems. Connection requires being in service area and paying hookup fees. System capacity may limit development.
Pro Tip
Confirm municipal sewer availability and capacity before buying for development. Lack of sewer service severely limits density. Being in the service area isn't enough—there must actually be capacity to serve your project.
Example
Property with municipal sewer service available at the street enabling dense development.
