What We Do
We review and approve permits for the construction, alteration and abandonment of private water systems. A private water system is a water supply used for human consumption that is not for public use. This includes all water wells, cisterns, springs, ponds and hauled water storage tanks. We also review, inspect and regulate sewage systems. Our staff monitors the treatment and disposal of all wastewaters for households, small flow and semi-public sewage treatment systems to protect surface and groundwater from contamination. Financial assistance is available to eligible residents.
