New Septic System Installation: Site Evaluation Through Final Inspection
A new septic installation is a site-specific project that typically involves evaluation, approved plans or permits where required, installation, and applicable inspections.
Start with site evaluation
The site must be evaluated under applicable requirements. Do not assume a parcel can support a particular system before the relevant process is complete.
Permits and installation
Georgia Department of Public Health materials describe onsite sewage permitting and inspection requirements. The required local process should be verified for the exact property.
Final steps
After installation work, applicable inspections and records should be coordinated with the responsible authority and project team.
