SEPTIC SYSTEMS

To help protect public health and the environment, Utah law requires wastewater to be handled through a public sewer connection or an onsite wastewater system (septic system). A permit and approved design are required before installing, replacing, or modifying a system. Our department reviews plans, issues permits, conducts inspections, and maintains septic system records within our district. Learn more about septic systems through the EPA’s Septic System Homeowner Resources.

CERTIFIED ONSITE PROFESSIONAL

Property owners and contractors must perform soil and percolation tests before designing a septic system and completing a Septic System Application. *Utah regulations require that an individual or engineer who is certified at the appropriate level, perform soil testing and design the septic systems.
