SEPTIC SYSTEMS

In order for our department to issue a septic permit, a verified source of water must be available to the property. Water hauling is not an acceptable source of water for a septic permit. Only exception to this rule: if a property is seasonal (meaning there is only access to the property less than 180 days during the year because of weather-related conditions like snow), then water hauling is permissible. If a property is made accessible for more than 180 days due to snow plowing by private or public services, it must still have a water source other than water hauling in order to receive a septic permit.
