Onsite Wastewater Existing System Evaluation

The components of an onsite wastewater (sewage disposal system) existing system evaluation.

Existing System Evaluation

Existing System Evaluations are done to determine the location, size of all components and current functioning status. These evaluations are usually done on older systems that predate permitting requirements.

Additionally, sand filters and alternative treatment technology (ATT) systems require an Existing System Evaluation to determine whether these systems are being maintained and functioning properly.

File Review is required when new, non-habitable structures are added to a property or an addition is built onto an existing structure, not including bedrooms.
