Due to winter weather conditions, all field work has ended for the season. Requests for Service will be placed on the Spring Wait List in the order that they were received, and we will reach out to schedule service when our field season resumes in the Spring.
A site evaluation is the first step in determining if a parcel of land without access to municipal wastewater services can be considered for an on-site septic system. After a Request for Service Application has been made for an evaluation, a sanitarian will visit the proposed site to determine if the conditions on the site meet the requirements of the sanitary code. Issues considered and examined during the evaluation include:
- Soil type and permeability
- Depth to seasonal high water table
- Slope
- Horizontal separation distance from wells, surface waters, property lines
- Amount of suitable area available
- Area hydrogeology
- Runoff patterns
- Proposed land use
- Easements, right-of-ways, & building setbacks
- Location of buried utilities and other site improvements
- Existing development on adjacent lots
To initiate a site evaluation, please complete our Request for Service Application.
