Backwater Valve-Sanitary Check Valve Grant Program Reimbursement Form
The Village of Middlefield has a new program to assist single family, duplex, and tri-plex homeowners that
want to take additional steps to protect their homes from basement flooding due to backups. The Village has
approved funding for grants to residents to help defray the costs of installing a Backwater Valve/Sanitary
Check Valve in their line leading to their house. The purpose of this valve is to block the excess water from
coming back through the pipes into the basements of a home. This usually happens when due to a large
rainstorm the lines fill-up and there is nowhere for the excess storm water to go.
The program details are as follows:
* The Village will pay 50% of the cost of the installation of a valve up to a maximum grant amount of one
thousand dollars ($1,000.00).
* The grant is only available to single family, duplex, and tri-plex homes that are owner occupied.
* The work must be done by a licensed professional of the homeowner’s choosing.
* The homeowner must obtain a Right of Way permit from the Village before installation begins.
* The normal cost of the Right of Way permit will be waived by the Village.
* The homeowner must present a paid invoice from their contractor showing the total cost of the valve
installation to obtain reimbursement from the grant fund.
* The homeowner must present the final inspection report from their contractor of the proper installation.
* Funds for this program will only be available to the extent they are budgeted by the Village.
In order to participate in the grant program the homeowner must, after installation work is completed and
inspected, submit a completed application (a copy is attached) and all relevant paperwork to the Village at:
