Septic Systems

NOTICE: The Community Development Counter will open at
8:30am on Thursday, October 22, 2020.  

The goal of the On-Site Wastewater Treatment Systems (OWTS) Deaprtment is to ensure proper onsite wastewater disposal in areas which are not served by municipal sewer.  This Department issues all OWTS/septic permits, septic clearances and reviews land use applications where an OWTS is proposed.  All OWTS installers and pumpers/cleaners must be licensed by this Department to install, pump and haul wastewater to a treatment facility.
