The process of installing a septic system is the same whether you are in the county or in a river authority jurisdiction with the first step being a site evaluation; how many bedrooms are in the home or how many RV's does the system need to handle etc. Also, we take a look at the soil to determine what systems the state/governing authority will allow and what area is available for the septic system disposal field.

Once the site evaluation is preformed and we know what our options are, we can discuss the cost of installation. If the system is going to be an aerobic unit, then a registered sanitarian or licensed professional engineer is required to design the system. If we are agreed on the cost and system type, I then have the landowner sign the permit, affidavit if an aerobic system, landscaping agreement, and maintenance contract if an aerobic system.

Once we have site evaluation/design packet ready, we then submit paperwork to the governing authority who has to issue an authorization to construct before I am able to get started on the installation of the system. I typically include all design work and permit cost in with my bid and give a turn-key price to install the septic system.
