Got a letter saying city sewer or water is now available? Florida gives you 365 days to connect. We install the sewer lateral and water service line, pull the permits, abandon the septic tank and close out the well, so you meet your deadline.
When a utility extends sewer or water mains down your street, homes on a septic tank or a private well are usually notified that they must connect. In Florida, once the sewer provider sends written notice that sewer is available, the owner generally has 365 days to connect. If the health department finds that the septic system is failing, the deadline is 90 days (Florida Statutes 381.00655). After the connection, the old septic tank has to be properly abandoned within 90 days.
Blessed Solutions Plumbing (BSP1) handles the private side of the job for homeowners in St. Cloud, Orlando, Kissimmee and Lake Nona: the new sewer lateral and water service line from the utility connection to your house, the permits and inspections, and the septic and well closeout so you meet the deadline.
Sewer, water, permits, septic abandonment and well closeout handled together, so nothing falls through the cracks before your deadline.

Connection fees, impact fees and any utility-side work are set by your utility. Ask your utility about payment plans or grant programs; some Central Florida utilities offer them for septic-to-sewer conversions. BSP1 is a private contractor and is not affiliated with any utility.
Under Florida Statutes 381.00655, an owner with a working septic system must connect within 365 days after the sewer provider sends written notice that sewer is available. If the health department finds the system is failing, the deadline is 90 days. Check the date on your utility letter and call us early, because permits and scheduling take time.
It must be abandoned within 90 days of the connection. That means getting an abandonment permit, having the tank pumped by a permitted septage hauler, opening or collapsing the tank so it cannot hold water, filling it with clean sand and passing the inspection.
Often yes, but only for irrigation, and it must be completely separated from the house plumbing so well water can never enter the city system. Your utility may require a backflow preventer. If you do not want the well, it should be plugged by a licensed water well contractor under a permit.
The utility typically builds the main in the street and the stub-out or meter at your property line. The homeowner usually pays for the private line from that point to the house, the septic abandonment and the utility connection fees. Some utilities offer payment plans or grants; BSP1 offers financing through Wisetack for the private-side work.
We do the private-side plumbing in the areas those utilities serve, including St. Cloud, Kissimmee and Orlando, and we follow each utility's connection and inspection requirements. Send us your utility letter and we will confirm the details for your address.
It depends on the distance to the connection, the yard and the permit schedule. We give you a timeline with the written quote so the work is finished before your deadline.
