Shared Septic Division
The Shared Septic System Division is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the County’s 25 shared septic systems. A shared septic system is a system that serves the wastewater treatment needs of only one community and they are located outside the metropolitan district. Each system consists of a collection system that conveys raw wastewater to a central location where it is treated and disposed of in a use-in-common drainfield.
This division responds to inquiries regarding:
- Alarms either at the house control panels that are connected to individual grinder pumps serving that residence
