Operation & Maintenance for Existing Onsite Sewage Systems

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 click here.

Be smart poster showing the do's and don'ts of your septic system: protect and inspect it, think at the sink, don't overload the commode, shield your field, don't strain your drain.
