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

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.
