Water Conservation Agreements
Most rezoning and special use permit applications include proffers or conditions to address water conservation practices to be incorporated into the proposed development to reduce water consumption. These include water efficient landscaping, irrigation systems, and indoor appliances. A guidance document Water Conservation Guidelines (PDF) is provided in order to assist in drafting Water Conservation Agreements.

Pre-Construction Courtesy Inspection
The James City Service Authority (JCSA) provides a fee-free Pre-Construction Courtesy Inspection (PDF) to validate existing water and sewer infrastructure prior to contractor occupying the site. This inspection will include all water and sewer infrastructures.

Requesting an Inspection
Building contractors must contact JCSA 2 working days prior to occupying the property with material or equipment. The offer is voided if the site has been occupied, to include clearing, razing, material, or equipment prepositioning, or construction of any kind.
