After You Get a Permit

At this stage, the septic system installation is typically responsible for the system’s operation. When scheduling inspections, it is necessary for the installer to notify the Zoning Office at least 24 hours in advance of the scheduled inspection. Some systems may require more than one examination. An installation certificate will be supplied once the final inspection has been completed and authorized.
