New Home Construction

When investigating the idea of building a new home, some of the very first steps are with us here at the health department. It is important to get the site approved for a sewage treatment system, prior to buying a lot or surveying a lot from a larger parcel (ex. family farm). That starts with hiring a soil scientist and a system designer. Their report allows you to see what type of sewage treatment systems will work on the lot, if any. Think about all future plans and hopes for this property (buildings, pond or swimming pool). Proper layout now can save time and money later. Here are the links that you will need to get started.

After site approval, you will need a sewage permit for installation, a well permit, and eventually an operation/maintenance permit for the septic system.
