Upgrading aging municipal infrastructure is one of the most critical challenges facing local governments today. Combined sewer systems—where stormwater and wastewater flow through the same pipes—were common in older communities but frequently overflow during heavy rain, releasing untreated sewage into local waterways and creating serious environmental and public health risks.

A Combined Sewer Separation Project Assessment helps municipalities systematically evaluate the feasibility, cost, and funding options for separating these systems in affected neighborhoods. This template is designed for public works departments, city engineers, environmental planners, and community development offices that need to collect detailed property, infrastructure, and stakeholder data to inform capital improvement decisions.

Why This Form Matters for Municipal Utilities

Sewer separation projects are complex, costly, and impact entire neighborhoods. Before breaking ground, municipalities need accurate assessments that account for property characteristics, existing infrastructure, environmental factors, and community input. This form centralizes all the critical data points—from property boundaries and soil conditions to homeowner preferences and environmental compliance requirements—into one organized submission.

With Paperform, you can create a professional, easy-to-navigate assessment that guides respondents through technical questions while maintaining clarity for non-engineering staff and community members. Conditional logic ensures that only relevant questions appear based on property type, ownership status, and project scope, reducing completion time and improving data quality.

Streamline Workflows with Stepper and Papersign

Once an assessment is submitted, the real work begins: routing data to engineering teams, scheduling site visits, generating cost estimates, and coordinating with environmental agencies. Stepper (stepper.io) can automate these handoffs by creating multi-step workflows that trigger notifications, update project management tools, assign tasks to inspectors, and keep CRMs or GIS systems in sync—all without writing a single line of code.

For projects requiring formal agreements, easements, or participation consent forms, Papersign (papersign.com) lets you turn submissions into legally binding eSignature documents, keeping the entire audit trail connected to the original assessment for compliance and transparency.

Built for Government and Civic Workflows

This template is optimized for public administration teams managing large-scale infrastructure projects across multiple properties and stakeholders. It's ideal for city engineers, environmental services coordinators, grant managers, and community liaisons who need a secure, compliant, and scalable tool to collect, organize, and act on complex project data. With SOC 2 Type II compliance, role-based permissions, and integration with government CRMs and GIS platforms, Paperform gives you the control and security public projects demand.
