The Septic Tank program utilizes our online system called ePermitting; which is designed to support the full regulatory lifecycle while allowing our external customers to do business with us through the same platform. ePermitting will allow you to submit applications, self- inspection forms, and all pertinent documentation online in one portal. It will also allow you to access your account at any time and obtain real time updates on the status of your application.
