Water and Sewer Services
Public Water & Sewer Usage Bills
The City of Walker is a customer community of the City of Grand
Rapids for public water and sewer service. For this reason, public water
and sewer usage bills for properties located in the City of Walker are
billed and collected by the City of Grand Rapids Water Department. The
City of Walker only becomes involved in the billing process if an
account remains unpaid for over 90 days. The phone number of the Grand
Rapids Water Department is (616)771-1200.
Connecting to the Public Water and/or Sewer System
In order to connect to the public water and/or sewer system, the
property owner must follow three steps.
Contact the Walker Treasurer’s office to obtain a $2 Water and
Sewer Connection Affidavit. In some cases, the property will also owe
a deferred water or sewer main frontage fee. This fee must be paid
before Walker can issue the $2 affidavit.
Contact the City of Grand Rapids Water Department to pay for the
hookup or connection fee and to schedule the connection. Grand Rapids
will run a lateral from the main to the edge of the property line at
the end of the road right of way. Grand Rapids will not proceed with
this connection without the $2 affidavit from Walker.
Contact an independent plumber to run the lateral from the house
or building to the road right of way to connect to the Grand Rapids
lateral.
Wells and Septic
The Kent County Health Department is responsible for the
administration of wells and septic tanks for properties located in the
City of Walker. The Health Department’s phone number is (616)632-6900.
Sale of Property
The City of Walker does not require that a property connect to the
public water and/or sewer systems as a condition of the sale. However,
the Kent County Health Department may require connection to the public
system depending on the status of the well and septic systems. In
addition, certain mortgage companies and/or types of mortgages may
require connection to the public system as a condition of the mortgage.
