WE JUST BOUGHT A VACANT LOT IN GREENE COUNTY, HOW DO I START THE
DEVELOPMENT PROCESS FOR DESIGNING A SEWAGE TREATMENT SYSTEM?
Information
and fact sheets about this process are located on the
private sewage systems page. Refer to
the
soil evaluation and design
information sheet,
the design plan review
instructions and the
site review application
instructions for more information.
IF
I’M A HOMEOWNER, MAY I WORK ON MY OWN SEWAGE TREATMENT SYSTEM?
Yes.
Contact the Health District at 937-374-5606 or 1-866-858-3588 for more
information. You, personally, must be doing the digging or excavation
work.
I’M
BUYING (OR SELLING) A HOUSE AND I NEED TO HAVE SEWAGE TREATMENT SYSTEM
INSPECTED, WHAT DO I DO?
The Health District
will inspect existing household sewage treatment systems when requested.
There is a fee charged for the inspection and evaluation. Please submit
the
evaluation of
existing sewage treatment system.
Contact the Health District at
937-374-5606 or 1-866-858-3588 for more information.
MY
SEWAGE TREATMENT SYSTEM IS MALFUNCTIONING OR HAVING PROBLEMS, WHAT DO I
DO?
Contact
the Health District at 937-374-5606 or
1-866-858-3588 for assistance with the evaluation of your sewage
treatment system.
I’M
SPLITTING OFF OR CREATING A LOT THAT I WANT TO DEVELOP OR SELL, WHAT DO
I DO?
Check
with your local Zoning Department for the proper lot size and road
frontage requirements. Check with the Greene County Regional Planning
Commission, 937-562-7480, to see if their approval is required. Contact
a surveyor and create the new survey of the proposed lot. Once the
survey paperwork and Mylar is finished, complete the lot split evaluation application and
submit the application, a copy of the Mylar and the appropriate fee to
the Health District for review.
I’M LOOKING FOR RECORDS ON MY SEWAGE TREATMENT SYSTEM, WHERE DO I
FIND THEM?
The Health District offices contain records of most sewage treatment systems dating back to around the 1950’s. Records
may be filed under the original owner’s last name since some records do
not have a house number. The Health District’s files are open for review
Monday through Friday 8:00am to 11:00am and 1:00pm to 3:00pm. The office
is closed for lunch from 11:30am to 12:30pm each day.
