Study on extending sewer to homes on Salishan Spit

Note: this only affects Salishan Leaseholders not currently on the Salishan Sanitary sewer system

Petition to support annexation for purposes of extending sewer out to properties on Salishann Spit currently served by septic tanks and field or undeveloped at this time. Since many owners are remote, the District has developed an online petition at this link:

NEXT STEPS:   Property owners on the Spit who currently have septic tanks and fields (or an undeveloped) lot need to petition the Sanitary Board and Lincoln County Commissioners to be annexed into the Sanitary District.  If less than 100% but more than 50% of property owners sign the petition, an election will be scheduled. If a majority of those voting are in favor of annexation, the annexation is approved.

STEP 2:   The District determines the available financing options for the construction of the public segment-- the extension of sewer lines and the costs.  Another election is required where the funding is approved if more than 67% of voters approve.  The project can then be bid and constructed.  All property owners share this cost and repayment.

STEP 3:    The property owner is ready to attach their property to the sewer line. At that time, the private costs include the costs for the grinder, its installation and the connection from the home to the sewer line at the street, the payment of the SDC to the District and then ongoing monthly sewer utility costs.

CAUTION:  All cost estimates in the study are based on November, 2025 construction costs which are subject to change over time due to various factors.
