Sandy Water & Sewer Line Specialists
Sandy City Public Utilities delivers culinary water, while sanitary sewer belongs to Sandy Suburban Improvement District through most of the city and Jordan Basin Improvement District in southern areas. Getting that right on the front end keeps a job from stalling.
Sandy spans a wide age range. Historic Sandy around Main and Center Street goes back to the 1890s through the 1940s, the broad middle of the city is 1970s through 1990s suburban development, and bench neighborhoods such as Pepperwood went in during the 1980s and 1990s. Ground gets rockier as you move east toward the Wasatch: granitic and sandy soils on the bench, with heavy concentration of cobble and gravel through the Historic Sandy area. Frost depth in the valley is 30 inches. Excavation in the right-of-way requires a Road Cut Permit, and larger disturbance requires a Grading and Excavating Permit, both through Sandy City Public Utilities and Engineering.
