All requests for service other than a standard residential meter for a single-family residence should contact Bear Creek Water Association to discuss the level and quantity of water and sewer service desired.  This might include peak flow, minimum flow, average flow, wastewater constituents, or required pressures.

If sanitary sewer is not available and on-site wastewater treatment will be utilized, the applicant must also bring a copy of the Mississippi State Department of Health Form 335 E.  This form is the Permit/Recommendation document proving that a Notice of Intent has been filed as per Section 41-67-5, Mississippi Code of 1972, Annotated.  The process for the customer to acquire the document is as follows:

  • The customer should make a written request for a sewer release letter from Bear Creek Water Association.  We will send the release letter directly to the State Department of Health.

  • The customer can then visit www.healthyms.com/wwapply to apply for on-site wastewater treatment.

  • If you have questions about the process, you can contact the State Department of Health.

  • After the application is complete and approved, the State Department of Health will give the customer the required Form 335 E.
