Interested Contractors

Hi-Desert Water District has compiled an Interested Contractors List (PDF) for the installation of private property sewer lateral connections and abandonment of septic tanks.

Financing

Property owners that request financing through the District for their private property connection must use a contractor listed on the Interested Contractors List (PDF). The Interested Contractors List is not intended to guarantee the work of the contractor. All guarantees are directly between the property owner and the contractor.

If you have questions or require additional information, please email Ryan Hutchins or call 760-228-6279.
