If you are a developer, 构建器, 架构师, 工程师, or homeowner and are planning a new construction project or renovation involving BWSC's water, 下水道, or storm drain systems, you will need to familiarize yourself with the site plan approval process. Basically, it is a two-step process. The first step is the submission of the Site Plan with supporting documents, drawings, permits, etc. Once BWSC approves the Site Plan, the second step involves the establishment of a new account (if applicable) in conjunction with the completion of the General Service Application (GSA). In addition to information on the Site Plan 需求 and GSA filing, this section will also provide a menu of other supporting documents, guidelines and forms as well as other helpful information that you may need to successfully complete the site plan and permitting processes.
BWSC also maintains an archive of historical and contemporary maps, 连接卡, 记录计划, 收入, 地役权, and other detailed information to help you successfully plan, research and complete your site plan.
When planning for connection repairs, account reactivation, 或拆除, you will need to complete and submit a General Service Application (GSA) with all supporting documents to BWSC before any repair work can proceed.
If you have questions regarding this process, please contact BWSC’s Engineering 客户服务 at 617-989-7600.

Step 1: Pre Site Plan Approval
General 需求
The requirements for site plans and as-builts have been prepared to assist property owners, 开发人员, 建筑商, 架构师, 工程师, and others in securing the necessary approvals from BWSC. For more information continue to the General 需求 page.
General 需求
Water 需求
All water work must meet or exceed BWSC's standard requirements.
Water 需求
Sewer 需求
All 下水道 work must meet or exceed BWSC's standard requirements.
Sewer 需求
Storm Drain 需求
All storm drain work must meet or exceed BWSC's standard requirements. BWSC reserves the right to determine whether drainage issues will be addressed during building renovations. Site plan review projects in the City of 波士顿 are required to infiltrate a volume of runoff equal to one inch of rainfall times the total impervious area on site must be infiltrated prior to discharge to a storm drain or a combined 下水道 system for projects less than 100,000 square feet of floor area. For all projects which are at or above 100,000 square feet of floor area, the project must use a volume of runoff equal to 1.25 inches of rainfall times the total impervious area on site. Applicant is required to electronically obtain, fill out, and upload an Excel-based Green Infrastructure Worksheet when directed by BWSC.
Storm Drain 需求
拆迁
拆迁 of a building in the City of 波士顿 involves a number of forms, permits and supporting documents overseen by a number of agencies.
The property owner must initiate a General Services Application (GSA):
- Submit a letter to 客户服务s requesting demolition
- Submit a letter from a BWSC licensed and bonded contractor
- Request BWSC to shut-off all domestic and fire pipe service
- Provide the fire pipe Shut-off Permit Number from the 波士顿 Fire Department located at 115 Southampton Street, 波士顿, MA
- Return BWSC’s water meter and Meter Transmission Unit after water shut off in public way
- Pay any outstanding balances along with any unbilled accrued charges and reclassify the account
- To complete the GSA hire a bonded and licensed drain layer company for the disconnection (cutting and capping) of the water, 下水道, and storm drain connections at BWSC’s main lines and the removal of all appurtenances
Upon completion of all tasks, the GSA will be closed out. This closed out GSA is the BWSC’s sign off document, to be delivered to ISD.
Step 2: Post-Approval/GSA
检查
After the site plan is approved and signed by the Chief Engineer, 或者他的指定人, a General Service Application (GSA) must be completed by the owner of the property, or the owner's agent, prior to the initiation of the approved work. A prerequisite for filing a GSA with BWSC for new construction is the Rough Construction Sign-Off document from the City of 波士顿's Inspectional Services Department. A deposit based on the size of the water service or fire pipe connection and 下水道 and drain connections must accompany the GSA submission. Upon receipt of the appropriate deposit, BWSC will establish a water and 下水道 account and assign an account number to the property. An inspection fee will be charged for each water and 下水道 connection. 24 hours advanced notice is required for inspection scheduling. If any inspection date is scheduled on weekends, holidays or after regular work hours, an additional inspection fee will be charged. 也, if the contractor fails to notify the BWSC inspectors of a cancellation in advance, an additional inspection fee will be charged to the contractor when the job is subsequently rescheduled.
All construction work performed on BWSC systems or construction work performed on systems whose ownership may be transferred to the BWSC must be inspected by a BWSC Construction Inspector at the developer's expense. The contractor will be charged the current BWSC rate per diem based upon estimated work days through the completion of the project. The Manager of Engineering 客户服务 will make this determination. These payments shall be made through Engineering 客户服务 Department. Upon completion of the work, a refund or an additional bill will be issued based upon actual working days. The contractor must notify, 以书面形式, the Director of the BWSC Construction Division, seven days prior to the beginning of construction. This will allow BWSC sufficient time to schedule field inspection.
许可证续签
Site plans are valid for a period of one year from the date of approval.
After a period of one year from the date of approval, site plans must be reactivated. Both a narrative letter and a new site plan are required for reactivation.
As-Built Drawings & Supporting Documents
BWSC requires As-Built drawings to be submitted to Engineering 客户服务 within 30 days of project completion. As-built plans must be submitted by Professional Engineer certified in Massachusetts.
Other than standard service connections, site plans which require on-site infiltration systems, particle separators or drainage overflow connection systems, and all work on BWSC's water mains, sanitary 下水道s or storm drains, must be detailed in Auto Cad Release 14 disk or higher. Upon completion of the work, these drawings are to be submitted to BWSC at 980 Harrison Avenue, 波士顿, MA. These drawings must include:
- 位置 of any abandoned items, such as pipes, water gates and 人孔
- 位置 of all new installations, 比如门, 人孔, 异径接头, 我家的t恤, bends and other appurtenances
- Tie-in measurements from all new items to property lines and corners
- A Separate Plan and Profile sheet of all 下水道 and drain lines. Invert elevation of all 下水道 and drain lines at the 人孔 and aligned with plan view.
- Depth of water pipe at all gates, bends and connections
- Size and type of all pipes, valves and hydrants installed
- Rim elevations of all 人孔
- As-Built calculations and information include size, proposed impervious area, proposed impervious area, required infiltration capacity, and latitude/longitude of all GI/LID installed
For projects with BMP/GI installations, submit an updated Green Infrastructure Worksheet providing information such as BMP/GI type(s), as-built calculations, and location.
