ARTICLE III. PRIVATE SEWAGE DISPOSAL SYSTEMS

(a) When an approvable soil absorption system or grinder pump system is planned as the method of sewage disposal to serve any lot or parcel of land, the building official shall not issue a building permit until after receipt of a permit, if required, for said system from the Health Department. Any restrictions or qualifications on such Health Department approval shall be stated on the soil absorption construction permit and on the building permit. If any such conditions are stated on the soil absorption or grinder pump system construction permit, evidence of recordation of such conditions in the Clerk's Office of the Circuit Court must also be presented to the building official prior to issuance of the building permit. The health officer shall issue such construction permit only if all requirements of this chapter are met. Soil absorption systems utilizing either elevated sand mound or low pressure technology and grinder pumps shall be designed for each specific site by an engineer.

(b) It shall be unlawful for any person to install or repair, have, allow, or contract to install or repair a soil absorption system in the county individually or for another person without first obtaining a permit from the Health Department. Any proposed revisions to absorption systems utilizing elevated sand mound or low pressure technology shall be designed by an engineer. Inspection and final approval of the work shall be the responsibility of the Health Department.
