LETTER OF COMMITMENT REQUEST

LETTER OF COMMITMENT REQUEST
Form Description:

The Letter of Commitment process is followed whenever a more technical investigation is necessary to determine if City of Asheville water service is available. The Letter of Commitment process does not differentiate between City & County customers. There is a separate application for a Letter of Commitment, copy attached, and a $300.00 processing charge. A Letter of Commitment is required prior to the review of water system extension plans. A Letter of Commitment is valid for one (1) year from the date of issue, subject to the conditions of the Letter of Commitment.

Situations where the Letter of Commitment process is applied are:

1. Whenever more than four (4) meters are desired at a single location. An example of this might be a shopping center of more than four (4) buildings.

2. New subdivisions with more than four (4) lots or whenever an extension of the water system is required to serve the subdivision.

3. Whenever a single meter larger than 1-inch is required.

4. Whenever the required water service involves a fireline connection and a domestic water service of any size.

The Letter of Commitment process is handled by the Water Resources Department and can take between five (5) and ten (10) working days to complete.
