Do I need a permit to for a new well, water service, septic system, sewer service or driveway?

Yes, a permit is required to install or newly construct any of the above. For the wells and septic systems a Putnam County Licensed Well Drilling Contractor for wells and a Putnam County Licensed Septic System Installer for septic systems are required to obtain the permit prior to starting the work. For water service, sewer service and driveways a Permit is required from Town of Carmel. Contractors may not perform taps unless they are approved by the Town of Carmel Engineering Department. 

Septic system and well permits are coordinated with the Putnam County Department of Health for questions relative to septic systems and wells. Information can be found here.
