For many areas in our community, septic systems are the only available means of sewage disposal. When they are installed and used correctly they are a safe alternative to centralized sewer systems.
Environmental Health inspects all aspects of development related to properties utilizing septic systems. They also investigate all complaints of failing septic systems.
