Common areas
Can your homeowners' association get a refund?
In a homeowners' association, the roof, basement and outdoor areas are typically shared. Disconnecting therefore requires a decision by the association – but the refund can be a shared win for everyone.

Can the individual owner disconnect their part?
Rarely. The roof and shared outdoor areas belong to the association, so the project has to be decided at the owners' meeting or by the board.
Who receives the refund?
The utility typically refunds the property – i.e. the association. How the amount is shared between owners is decided by the association itself.
What does a shared infiltration trench cost?
It depends on the size of the property and the ground conditions. The calculator gives an estimate, and a partner drain-layer can provide a concrete quote to the association.
