Application For Service:

Application for service can be made either at the Bear Creek Water Association business office or can be submitted under Manage Services through our member portal.

For those coming into the office, our office hours are Monday-Friday, 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM.  The applicant will be required to sign our “Water/Sewer Users Agreement”.  The applicant should bring a copy of their warranty deed, building permit (if new construction), or lease agreement, identification such as a valid driver’s license, and must pay all applicable fees and deposits.  We accept cash, checks, money orders, debit or credit cards for application of service. Convenience fees may apply for debit and credit cards.

For those who want to submit an online application, click here to start the application. Applicants will need a PDF copy of their warranty deed, building permit (if new construction) or lease agreement as well as a picture of a valid government issued ID to be uploaded through the form. Once the form is submitted, a customer service representative will reach out to the applicant with any follow up questions and to coordinate payment of deposit and any other applicable fees.

All deposits are applied to final bills and the remaining balance refundable at the end of service.

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 or upload 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
