New Septic System Installation Process

Installing a new septic system requires careful planning, engineering, and county approval to protect public health and groundwater.

1. Site Evaluation & Soil Testing

Soil testing determines whether the property can support a septic system and what type is allowed.

2. Engineered System Design

A licensed engineer designs the septic system based on soil conditions and property layout.

3. County Permit Approval

Permit applications are submitted with engineered plans, soil reports, and required fees.

4. Septic System Installation

A licensed contractor installs the system according to approved plans.

5. Final Inspection & Approval

The county inspects the system and issues final authorization for use.
