Hartford explains that MDC operates combined storm/sanitary sewers and some separated storm sewers, the city operates other storm drainage, and private owners maintain systems serving their properties. This city reference does not define ownership throughout Hartford County.

Remote plan-based takeoff support; no local office, completed local project or site investigation is represented by this page. Cost, delivery schedule and deliverables depend on the agreed project scope.

What this changes in the bid review

Estimating interpretation: Do not assign a Hartford connection to the city or MDC solely from its appearance as a storm pipe. Ownership determines which approval and construction details must accompany the measured tie-in.
