Welcome to the Office of Onsite Septic Systems
Onsite sewage disposal is a broad term used to describe a system that treats biological or chemical effluent in the place where it originated. In other words, it's your septic system, complete with a tank that sorts, stores and treats solids as well as a leach field that distributes the fluids over a sand and gravel bed. Your septic system is a critical part of your home. It should be treated with care to ensure its effectiveness in treating the effluent we produce in our homes. For new construction of a home, business, or other building from which sewage emanates, with sanitary sewer not available, an onsite sewage disposal system is required. Wayne County evaluates conditions for suitability of onsite sewage disposal, Fee system construction, and complaints of improper operation and maintenance of onsite sewage disposal facilities. Wayne County acts as the local permitting agency for all residential and small commercial onsite sewage treatment systems. All completed sewage systems must be inspected and approved by the Wayne County Department of Health, Human and Veterans Services.Wayne County Onsite Sewage System Program Process (single/duplex site)
