Town of Fort Mill Water and Sewer Specifications are on file at SC DHEC. You may download a copy of these specifications by clicking on the appropriate link. The specifications are not a substitute for engineering design but serve as a guide for technical specifications where appropriate. You will need to stamp and approve the designs if they are included within your submittal to DHEC or the Town of Fort Mill.

Plan submittals - All plans submitted to the Town of Fort Mill for approval must be submitted on paper and in electronic form. As a means of improving the efficiency of our review process, the Town of Fort Mill has adopted the Mecklenburg and York County standards for electronic design submittals. Standards for York County design templates exist for County project submittals. These standard design templates are available in AutoCAD 2007 format. They may be viewed at:
http://www.yorkcountygov.com/Departments/DepartmentsAM/Engineering/CADStandards/tabid/608/Default.aspx
The templates contain the standard York County title block as well as other commonly used layers. These templates are preferred for York County and Town of Fort Mill projects, but are not mandated at this time. The Town of Fort Mill intends to adopt these same standards for the purpose of uniformity. Simply contact Town of Fort Mill for appropriate information to add to these standards.
Road specifications are an integral part of planning design from both an aesthetic and utilitarian perspective. Since road design can have profound impact on stormwater design, please contact the Engineering Department for more information regarding porous asphalt and permeable pavers.

The Engineering Department is responsible for pre-construction and post-construction stormwater plan review, N.P.D.E.S. permit processing and inspection.
The process begins with a pre-submittal meeting involving the town manager and the head of the planning department. The planning department will review various aspects of the site under consideration including but not limited to zoning ordinances, subdivision ordinances, road, SCDOT, utilities, land development regulations, etc.
Once the planning department and the applicant are in agreement to move forward, the applicant is ready to begin the process of attaining a Land Disturbance Permit.
Once an applicant has received a Land Disturbance Permit, the applicant may begin construction of storm water management and sediment controls. After controls are constructed the permittee shall have the controls inspected and as-built drawings completed. The as-built drawings should be certified as being constructed according to the approved land disturbance plan. After a final stormwater inspection and approval by the town’s engineering department, the permittees is granted permission to apply for a Specialty Contractor Permit.
The Building & Codes Department is responsible for inspecting homes and businesses, issuing Specialty Contract permits and business licenses, lot maintenance and enforcement of the Town Nuisance Ordinance. Please proceed to the town web page for the Town of Fort Mill's Building & Codes Department.
