If you are developing a new property, the building permit process requires you to obtain clearance from the Board of Water Supply for a water meter. The following are some of the forms you will need for various types of development. The BWS also reviews all construction plans of private, City, State, and Federal projects that may influence and/or impact BWS facilities.
