Septic Permits

Process for applying for a septic permit

  • Contact the Township Secretary to determine if the proposed location of septic system is located in the flood plain area. Federal Law prevents a septic system being installed in a flood plain zone.
  • If your location is acceptable, an Application for OnLot Sewage Disposal System Permit must be filled out.   You will need to discuss your particular circumstances with the Township SEO.  Please contact the Township Secretary for contact phone numbers for the Township SEO. Once a determination has been made about the services you will need to obtain your septic permit, the SEO will notify the Township Secretary with regard to the fees that will be due to the Township, depending on your specific needs.
  • Contact the Township Secretary, pay the fees determined by the SEO, and obtain an application for OnLot Sewage Disposal System Permit. 724-637-3867.
  • Once you have the application for testing, you will contact the SEO to set up a time for testing to begin.
  • The SEO will stay in close contact with you, walking you through all requirements, results, and plans to complete the process and issue the permit for you to begin installation of your system.
