Sewage Treatment Systems

Don't Stink Up Stark!

A septic system (or sewage treatment system) treats and disposes of sanitary wastewater from a home or business that does not have access to the sanitary sewer. Where a sanitary sewer system pipes wastewater to a central treatment plant, a septic system treats the waste on the property where it is produced. This most commonly is done with a soil absorption system (leaching system). However, when soil and/or space is insufficient to accommodate a soil absorption system, self-contained treatment devices, like aerators, treat and release clean effluent to a ditch or creek. Both types are designed to protect public health and the environment by properly treating waste before it reaches the groundwater table or discharges to surface water. To achieve this goal, not only is proper installation important but so is routine maintenance and inspection. This webpage contains information on regulations, permitting procedures, required service, property transfer inspections, contractor registration, and basic education.
