New Development and Construction
North Port is a vibrant and ever growing community. When developers, both commercial and residential, consider building in North Port one of the first contacts they make is to the Utilities Department. The following fees are in effect for water and sewer services as of January 2017. If you have any questions or would like more information about property-specific connection fees, please contact the Utilities Field Service Office at (941) 240-8000.
Many neighborhoods in North Port have City water and sewer, but there are still many parts of our City that do not have the necessary water and sewer infrastructure. By clicking the link below you can easily find out if an address, street or land parcel has City water and sewer available.

Avoid Illegal Connection Fines by Utilizing Hydrant Meters
It is North Port Utilities’ intent to protect our water system from contamination and theft by stepping up enforcement of illegal connections throughout our service area. As one of the fastest growing communities in the nation, we ask that developers advise their project managers and subcontractors to obtain water on job sites legally. State law mandates that a backflow prevention device MUST be in place to obtain water legally to protect the municipal water supply.
Meter sets and hydrant meters with backflow prevention devices may be obtained through North Port Utilities by calling 941-240-8000 or Hydrant@NorthPortFL.gov.
