Onsite Wastewater (Septic Systems)

TriCounty Health Department ensures that wastewater and septic systems are designed, installed, and maintained in ways that protect public health and the environment. Environmental health scientists review and approve system plans, issue construction permits, and conduct inspections to verify that installations meet state and local standards. The department also monitors failing systems, enforces regulations to prevent groundwater and surface-water contamination, and provides guidance to homeowners and contractors on proper system care. Records of permits, designs, and inspections are maintained to support long-term system management and public safety.
