Connection Process

Step 1: Complete and submit Vance County signup form and Envirolink service application to Envirolink, Inc with any applicable fees.  Renters must provide a copy of their lease and driver’s license when applying for service.

Step 2: Envirolink will process the application and notify you and the County Planning and Development Department that your account is set up and that the Water District intends to provide water service to your property.

Step 3:  Once you receive notification from Envirolink, you may hire an NC licensed plumber and apply for a $50 plumbing permit from the County Planning and Development Department (some plumbers may get the permit for you).  The plumbing permit is required before you begin installing the line from your house to the meter box.  While the plumber may pull this permit for the you, the property owner is responsible for ensuring that a permit is received.  The Planning and Development Department will not issue the Plumbing Permit without receiving notification from Envirolink that you have applied for water service.

Step 4: Once you are able to determine a date that your plumber will connect to the meter box, you will need to contact the County Planning and Development Department for an inspection.  The Planning and Development Department will notify Envirolink to schedule installation of the meter on the same day as the inspection.  The inspection and installation of meter should take place at the same time, but you should be prepared to be without water for a few hours on the day of switchover.

Water Rates
