Are you buying or selling a house that is not served by a municipal sewer system? If the property is not within the city limits, chances are good the residence’s sewage is handled on-site with a septic or related on-site wastewater system. These educational bulletins are designed for homeowners, would-be homeowners, and the real estate agents who represent them. They are not intended to substitute for high-quality, specialized, professional help from an engineer or geoscientist, but they will help you understand how the systems work, how they are designed, and how to operate and maintain them in good working order.
