Attention: Engineering & Surveying Firms
Subject: As-Built / Record Drawing Submittal Requirements
Our goal is to have all our as-built records accurate, informative, and consistent. They should be
easily interpreted by any and all who view them. We ask that you follow these standards and any
additional information in our Water and Sewer Policies, Procedures, Standards and Specifications
Manual for proper submittal processes. Any deviations from this process will cause delays in
completion of your project and severely increase the time it takes to get meters set in the project.
All first time submittals should be addressed to the attention of the Donated Projects
Team Gatekeeper and include the following items:
1. One reproducible set of pages that are as-built – no bond copies accepted – only
Mylar or Vellum will be accepted
a) Always include the cover sheet - this helps techs know general location when the
drawing is sent to our internal Systems and Records Section.
b) If this is a ‘partial’ submittal and a permit sheet has been submitted previously –
there is no need for additional copies of this sheet.
c) Do not alter information from the original permit form.
NOTE:
We do not accept bond copies because there is no guarantee that the
corrected Mylar submittals returned to us are the same as the bonds we
reviewed earlier. This creates double work for us.
2. Two copies of recorded plats
One for Systems and Records to assist in processing the Record Drawings and
one will be forwarded to our New Services Section when we accept the water
and sewer mains in order to enter the addresses in our billing system for meters.
3. One copy of recorded easement agreements, if applicable
4. An overlay of any sewer mains that are in a recorded easement
This map should clearly depict the center of the as-built sewer and manholes on
top of the recorded easement, as it is used to show that the main still falls within
the recorded area. This map can be drawn on 11” x 14” or 11” x 17” paper and
needs to be sealed, signed and dated by a NCPLS, in addition, this map must be
drawn to an indicated scale.

A couple of things to look for in a submittal, especially if it is a partial:
•
Have the plans you are submitting been revised any and do we have the latest copy?
Remember we are not just concerned with the mains but that each lot is being served
and that those services are stationed
•
Do we have easement/right of way for the entire length of sewer to the tie-in
manhole? If sewer is in a future street we need the recorded easement to be
width of the street not just 15’. Easements are not acceptable for water lines, as they
must be in a recorded street right-of-way.
•
Is there fire protection for each lot (no more than 750 to nearest fire hydrant measured as the fire truck would travel)?
•
Are all water service tapped into water mains that are in a recorded street or can be
isolated by valves within the recorded area?
