AMUD INSPECTIONS
Acton Municipal Utility District - PWS# 1110007
AMUD has developed ‘General Development Policy’ and ‘Construction Standards’ based on State and Federal laws requiring AMUD to make inspections. The General Development Policy and Construction Standards are available upon request.
Most often a contract is between AMUD and building contractor and rarely with plumbing contractors or sub contractors. Therefore whoever has contracted with AMUD is responsible for making sure all inspections are complete. AMUD is required to retain inspection reports for the State of Texas, Texas Commission of Environmental Quality, (TCEQ) for a period of ten years.
Inspections are required for the protection of the public water supply and to insure the proper installation for customer use.
AMUD POLICY STATES THAT REQUEST FOR INSPECTION BE MADE 24 HOURS IN ADVANCE.
AMUD staff will handle inspection calls on first call basis and will get to inspection site as soon as possible.
AMUD WILL NOT ESTABLISH SERVICE TO PREMISE IF SERVICE LINES ARE NOT INSPECTED.
