Water Service Abandonment Application

Water Service Abandonment Application Form

When a building is demolished or permanently vacated, municipal water services must be properly abandoned to prevent contamination, water loss, and safety hazards. This water service abandonment application streamlines the entire process—from initial request through final inspection and record drawing updates.

Who needs this form?

Property owners, demolition contractors, developers, and plumbing contractors working on demolished or permanently vacated structures need to formally request water service abandonment. Municipal utilities departments use this form to coordinate inspections, verify pipe capping compliance, and update infrastructure records.
