ON-SITE SEWER FACILITY MANAGEMENT

Each new or altered single family dwelling, multi-family dwelling, business, commercial, or industrial structure must be connected to an approved On-Site Sewage Facilities (OSSF) or be connected to an authorized wastewater disposal system.

Inspection of New On-Site Sewage Facilities
The Environmental Health Division issues permits for On-Site Sewage Facilities (OSSF), commonly known as septic systems. Staff inspects the OSSF during the installation process. A final inspection must be passed before the system can be used. 

Call the Temple office for Bell County regulations.

Process for Obtaining a Permit to Install

Re-Inspection of On-Site Sewage Facilities
Most mortgage lenders require a re-inspection of an OSSF whenever the property is sold. The Health District performs a surface inspection for this purpose.  The home buyer may request a more detailed review.
