I am evaluating one mobile home park deal. It has city water and private sewer (septic). The city sewer line across the street from the park. How much does it cost aproximately to connect to the city sewer line?

It depends on how many EDUs you need. In the county I'm looking into developing it's 1 EDU per mobile home and it was about $1500-2000 per EDU. The range varied based on what zone you're on. Water was about $3-4k per EDU. The county or city may also want an engineer to verify, and thats just the fee to tap. You have to add the cost to have a plumbing company run and connect the lines. Call your local city sewer to get the exact details. This was in San Antonio city limits and these costs and fees are drastically lower as you go out of the city ETJ.

@Andriy Boychuk I've gotten quotes from as low as $8,000 to as high as $20,000 just to tap in. Then of course you have your actual construction costs. Best way is to call the utility company and get the exact price or as close to it as possible.

You will need to have a look at the sewer sizing standards of the city to determine the size of the pipe at the tap, and then check the size of the lateral line(s) in place for your septic systems.
If they are relatively the same size you can make it work tying into them, but if your septic lines are like 50% the size of the sewer tap then you would be better off running new lines to the homes so that you don't congest the whole thing trying to save some money.
