Design Review and Permitting Program
The Navajo Nation Environmental Protection Agency Public
Water System Supervision Program developed the Public
Water Systems Design Review and Permitting Program. As
required by USEPA, the PWSSP has drafted new
construction permits, minimum design regulations and
operating permit regulations. These proposals regulations
can be found at our Act & Regulations page.
All proposed new public water systems and proposed
extension/modifications to existing public water systems
will need to obtain a construction permit from the PWSSP
before starting construction. The systems will have to
submit a construction permit application along with project
construction plans and reports, specifications at least 45
days ahead of the expected date of construction.

The fees associated with the construction permit must be paid with the application. After construction is completed, the project engineer
must request the PWSSP for an approval of the construction and provide as-built plans, test results, and other pertinent data. Once the
approval to construct is obtained, the owner/operator will need to apply for an operating permit. The operating permit must be renewed
every three years. Also, all existing water systems will have to obtain the operating permit.
