Obtaining a Permit to Install a New Sewage Treatment System

1. Obtain approval for the house to be built on the lot (site approval) from the Zoning authority. For site approval, contact Madison County Building and Zoning office by phone or email at 740-852-3065 dhughes@co.madison.oh.us Pages 10-11

2. Obtain a soils test from a soil scientist / evaluator per Ohio Administrative Code 3701-29-07(A): Pages 3-4

3. Work with a system designer to determine what system can be installed on your property. All systems must meet the requirements found in the Ohio Administrative Code 3701-29-09: Pages 5-6

4. Complete the Sewage Treatment System Design Review Application: Page 7

5. Submit to Madison County Public Health (MCPH) the completed application (step 4 above) along with the fee, the soil analysis, and the sewage treatment system design.

A sanitarian will review your application and all paperwork typically within seven (7) days

but may take up to thirty (30) days. An approved system design is good for five (5) years,

as long as there are no changes to the lot, the property, the soil, the size and location of

the proposed house and the approved system design.

6. At this point, begin to consider a system installer to hire. At the time of the installation, this installer will need to be registered with MCPH. For a current list of installers, visit our website or contact MCPH by phone or email at 740-852-3065 info@madisonpublichealth.org.

7. Purchase the installation permit after the design is approved and property address obtained. The permit is valid for one (1) year and must be purchased before installing the sewage treatment system and prior to obtaining a building permit from the local building and zoning department. Page 8

8. Complete and submit customer survey after purchasing permit. Page 9
