Have you pumped your septic tank lately?
If it has been more than 5 years, or you don’t remember when the last time was, it is time to have your septic tank pumped. See the Sewage Handling Contractor List below for a list of companies who offer this service.
Is your house served by an Alternative Onsite Sewage System?
- Alternative Onsite Sewage Systems are required to be inspected and sampled by a qualified Alternative Onsite Sewage System Operator within 180 days from the date of system approval. The system must then be inspected annually and sampled once every five years. A list of operators is available below.
- Alternative Onsite Sewage System Operators should submit inspection reports to the Health Department by the 15thof the month following the inspection. To access the portal, visit https://myhealthdepartment.com/virginia/.
