Any two additional fixtures should be counted as an additional half bathroom. If several fixtures are contemplated, then an early consultation with our sanitarians can identify the proper sizing of the septic tanks and drainfield. Multiple septic tanks in series are required to improve effluent quality- single tanks may be used in special situations. Drainfield size can be reduced by 25 percent if water saving devices and toilets using one gallon or less water per flush are used. A study, den or similar room which may be converted into a bedroom must be included in the total number of bedrooms.
Deed restriction is required to be recorded for fill-type or other engineered drainfields.
You have one year from the time your permits are issued to complete construction on your sewage system and water supply. The permits can be renewed by the person who signed the permit for one more year without an additional fee if there have been no changes in the property that affect the water supply and sewage system. If changes are made which require a site visit, an additional fee may be required. A sewage permit is not transferable from place to place or person to person.
