Sewage System Permitting

If the departments Site Evaluation finds the parcel to be suitable for a new or replacement sewage system, the next step in the process is the application for a septic system permit. Once a complete application has been submitted, approved, and the appropriate fee’s paid, construction of the system can start.

Final inspections are performed upon newly installed systems after this office has been notified by the installer that the septic system has been completed. The sanitarian will visit the site and inspect the installation of the system, assuring that it was installed according to the permit requirements. After the system has been given final approval by the sanitarian, an approved tag is provided and the system can then be covered.
