Are There Utilities Near My Project

Johnston County Public Utilities is not the only provider of water and sewer in the County. Our Utilities are mapped on the GIS link on this page. In the layers tab, on the left hand side of the page, there is a “utilities” checkbox and pulldown near the bottom of the list. With that you can see the potential available utilities in the vicinity of your project. Please review the water and sewer service policies linked on this page. The “Residential Sewer Service Policy” outlines the requirements for being able to utilize the County’s sewer system for residential developments outside of towns. The map area of the Outlying Residential Sewer Service Area and Municipal Transition districts can be found in the GIS Link under the boundaries pull down. All sewer availability is subject to downstream capacity in the system.

Please reach out to Rudy Wells, PE at rudy.wells@johnstonnc.gov for questions regarding sewer capacity and potential extensions to our reclaimed water system.

How Are Utility Extensions Permitted in Johnston County

In other jurisdictions water applications for extensions along with plans and all associated documentation are reviewed approved then sent to the State for permitting. In Johnston County, we are delegated to review, approve and permit the Water Extension applications, plans and all associated documentation in house. On the application, the developer will be the applicant and sign the application. Once the Permit and application signed by our office is received, it is not necessary to send any information to the State for the water permit.

Prior to beginning the construction design process it is highly recommended to confirm downstream capacity and route to existing facilities. Johnston County will review and approve the plans for sewer and any associated documents. The current Fast Track application will have to be filled out according the information provided on this page and appropriate values per the project. Once the plans and associated documents are approved, Johnston County will sign the FTA and fill out the Flow Tracking form and return them to the Engineer for submittal to the State for permitting.

Please reach out to Rudy Wells, PE at rudy.wells@johnstonnc.gov with any questions or concerns.
