All connections to the Pine Grove Community Water Association (PGCWA) require an association membership. Membership in the association allows the member the right to "tap" the mainline (a tap is a service connection). The membership is $20,000.00. Membership is associated with both the member and the member's property and is transferrable; if the member sells the property the membership transfers to the new owner.
The estimated equipment, labor, and inspection fee include the required meter pit, connection hardware designated by the association, and inspection of the installation before burial. All connections are required to have a cistern. More information on connecting to the system is available by calling Gerry Broer at 605-390-1967.
