Welcome to the Engineering Department
Who Are We?
The Engineering Department provides broad technical assistance and expertise to Town Boards (including Planning & Zoning and Zoning Board of Appeals), Town Commissions (including Conservation Commission), and citizens at large. Our engineers provide oversight and inspection of all construction projects within the Town, as well as Call Before You Dig mark-outs and inspections. We supervise Town roads, storm drainage, sanitary sewer systems, and sidewalks.

Irrigation Systems and Underground Dog Fences
Homeowners with any portion of an irrigation system and/or dog fence installed within the Town's Right of Way must complete a Waiver. In the event that a homeowner is unwilling to sign the Waiver, they must have a Contractor licensed with the Town of Southington apply for an Excavation Permit or relocate said irrigation system and/or dog fence outside of the Town Right-of-Way. The irrigation system or dog fence must be inspected by an Engineering Inspector. Any questions regarding this policy should be directed to the Engineering Department at 860.276.6231.
Engineering Review of Planning & Zoning Applications
Applications submitted to the Planning & Zoning Department for Special Permit Use, Site Plan Review, Subdivisions, Earth Excavations, Flood Fill, etc. are also reviewed by the Engineering Department.
