Service Overview
Site Utility Connections With Clear Answers Before Work Begins
Connecting a new building or development to municipal water, sewer, and drainage systems requires a licensed contractor working within the utility authority's requirements — from tap connection to meter set to pressure testing. Getting it done correctly the first time avoids reinspections, costly rework, and delays in your certificate of occupancy.
Lapin Services provides site utility connections for new construction, additions, and renovations throughout Orlando and Central Florida. We coordinate with utility authorities, handle permits, perform the connection work, and close out the inspection — giving your project a clean, documented utility connection from the start.
Problems We Solve
Common Site Utility Connections Problems We Fix
You do not have to diagnose the problem yourself. These are common issues we help confirm, explain, and repair.
New Building Requiring Water and Sewer Connection
Every new commercial or residential building requires a permitted water and sewer connection to the municipal system — installed by a licensed contractor to utility authority specifications.
Development Requiring Multiple Utility Tie-Ins
Residential subdivisions and commercial developments often need multiple water meter connections, sewer service connections, and drainage tie-ins — coordinated across the full site.
Addition or New Structure Requiring Utility Extension
Adding a new structure to an existing property requires extending water and sewer service — with proper sizing for the new load and permits through the local utility authority.
Converting From Private to Municipal Utility Service
Properties switching from well and septic to municipal water and sewer require a new utility connection to the main — a permitted process that Lapin handles end to end.
Utility Connection Failing Inspection
When a utility connection fails inspection, the reason is usually installation technique, improper materials, or incorrect sizing. We diagnose and correct connection issues to get projects back on track.
When to Call
Signs Your Sitework Project Needs Professional Attention
If you notice any of these signs, call Lapin. We will find the cause and explain what needs to happen next.
You're Building a New Commercial or Residential Structure
New construction requires permitted utility connections before a certificate of occupancy can be issued — planning this early keeps your project on schedule.
You're Converting From Well and Septic to City Utilities
When municipal water and sewer become available and connection is required or desired, the process includes a formal utility connection that must be permitted and inspected.
You're Developing a Site That Requires Multiple Connections
Multi-lot developments, multi-building campuses, and commercial centers need coordinated utility connections managed by a contractor familiar with the utility authority's process.
Your Utility Connection Failed Inspection
A connection that failed inspection needs to be corrected and reinspected before you can proceed. We diagnose the issue and perform the necessary corrections.
You Need a Contractor Who Manages the Utility Authority Coordination
Coordinating with OUC, Orange County Utilities, or other municipal utilities for tap permits, meter sets, and final inspection requires a contractor who knows the process and the people.

FAQs
Site Utility Connections FAQs
Do you handle the tap permit and coordination with the utility authority?
Yes. We manage tap permit applications, coordinate with OUC, Orange County Utilities, and other local utility authorities, and schedule required meter set and connection inspections — end to end.
What is a utility tap?
A utility tap is the connection point where a new service line is connected to the municipal water or sewer main. It requires a permit and is typically inspected by the utility authority before service is activated.
Can you handle connections for both water and sewer on the same project?
Yes. We coordinate water service, sewer service, and stormwater connections as part of a complete site utility scope — simplifying coordination and permitting for your project team.
How far in advance should I engage a utility contractor for a new building connection?
As early as possible in the design phase — utility authority tap fees, availability, and permit timelines vary and can affect your project schedule. Early engagement prevents last-minute delays.
Do you serve all of Orlando and Central Florida?
Yes. We serve Orlando and the surrounding Central Florida region.
