What this form is
Use the application when a customer requests a utility extension or the Town requires one to provide service to a future customer. The requester identifies the project and utilities, submits plans, acknowledges charges, and provides a performance bond before approval and construction. After the extension is complete, the title-transfer section conveys the improvement to the Town, describes the requester’s two-year responsibility for certain failures, and includes a sworn statement before a notary.
Who needs it
A customer or developer requesting a utility extension, or a party completing an extension required by the Town, may need to submit this packet and later transfer the improvement.
Why it needs a notary
The title-transfer section carries a Washington state jurat; the person authorized to convey the improvement signs and swears or affirms before the notary.
