What is F-DCD-2022?
The Meter & Irrigation Removal/Reinstall Agreement is a City of Cape Coral form in which an owner or agent requests removal and reinstallation of a meter and irrigation box at a service address and certifies how the utility lines will be disconnected.
The page header of the PDF reads "Meter & Irrigation Removal/Reinstall Request", while the footer identifies the document as the Meter & Irrigation Removal/Reinstall Agreement, form F-DCD-2022 Rev B, one page long. It identifies the job by permit number, request date, utility account number, block and lots, service address, contractor and owner name.
The form has two request sections. Removal Services lets you check Irrigation box removal and Meter removal, both marked "no charge". Reinstall Services lets you check Irrigation reinstall and Meter reinstall; each carries a fee printed on the form, and both request statements say the signer understands the meter reinstall fee and the irrigation reinstall fee.
A certification closes the form: the water, sewer, irrigation, cable, phone, electric and gas lines will be properly disconnected at the right-of-way line, the sewer disconnection and capping are left open for inspection, and the sewer is capped before any demolition so sand and debris do not enter the sewer system.
The form has three copy boxes: Building Copy, Customer/Billing Service Copy and Utilities Copy. The city lists it under Miscellaneous Documents in its Permit Document Center, apart from the applications and guidelines for individual permit types.
Who needs to file F-DCD-2022?
The owner of the property, or an agent acting for the owner, completes this form when meter or irrigation services at a service address are to be removed or reinstalled. Both request statements are written "I, ____, owner/agent", and the form is signed by an Authorized Signature.
The form also has a Contractor line, so a contractor working at the address is named on it. The certification at the bottom concerns the disconnection of water, sewer, irrigation, cable, phone, electric and gas lines at the right-of-way line, so it applies to whoever carries out that work at the address.
You only check the sections that fit your request: removal, reinstall or both. The form does not describe any exemption, and it does not say who may sign beyond "owner/agent" and "Authorized Signature". Questions about whether your project needs it are for the City of Cape Coral Building Division.
When to file F-DCD-2022
Complete the form when you are ready to request removal of the meter or irrigation box, or their reinstallation, at the service address. Each request statement has a blank for the date on which the work is to be done, so decide those dates first.
The form prints one timing rule: the capping of the sewer line must occur before any demolition, so that sand and debris do not enter the sewer system, and the sewer disconnection and capping must be left open for inspection. The form also has a Request Date line and a Permit # line. It prints no separate due date or processing time.

How to submit F-DCD-2022
The form prints no mailing address, portal or appointment rule, so the channel is the one the City of Cape Coral Building Division uses for the permit named on the Permit # line.
- Before you submit: complete every line that applies, sign and date the form, and have the permit number and utility account number ready.
- Copies: the form has check boxes for the Building Copy, the Customer/Billing Service Copy and the Utilities Copy, and a Date copied line.
- Where to find the form: the city publishes it in its Permit Document Center under Miscellaneous Documents.
- Fees: the form states that meter and irrigation reinstall fees apply and prints their amounts. Ask the Building Division how they are paid.
FillingPDF lets you fill out and download the PDF; submission follows the channels above.
Common mistakes to avoid
- Leaving the Permit # line blank; the form is tied to a permit and has a Building Copy.
- Checking a reinstall service without noticing the fee printed next to it; the reinstall statements say you understand the fees.
- Leaving the removal or reinstall date blank in the request statement, so the city cannot tell when the work is to be done.
- Capping the sewer line after demolition begins; the certification says capping must occur before any demolition.
- Covering up the sewer disconnection and capping before inspection; the form says they must be left open for inspection.
- Disconnecting the utility lines somewhere other than the right-of-way line, where the certification says they will be disconnected.
- Submitting the form without the Authorized Signature and date.
- Checking removal boxes when you only need reinstall, or the reverse; each section lists its own services.

No. The city lists it under Miscellaneous Documents in its Permit Document Center, not among the applications. It carries a Permit # line, so it is used with a permit, but it does not itself apply for one.
Is there a fee for meter and irrigation removal or reinstall?
Removal of the irrigation box and the meter is marked "no charge" on the form. Reinstalling the irrigation and the meter carries a fee, and the amounts are printed on the form. Ask the City of Cape Coral Building Division how the fees are paid.
Who signs the Meter & Irrigation Removal/Reinstall Agreement?
The form is signed at the Authorized Signature line and dated. The two request statements are written for an owner or agent, so the owner or the owner's agent signs. A Contractor line names the contractor on the job.
When does the sewer line have to be capped?
Before any demolition. The certification says the capping must occur first so sand and debris do not enter the sewer system, and the sewer disconnection and capping must be left open for inspection.
