On Site Wastewater Treatment Systems

This page is under construction.

Most on-site wastewater systems, especially septic tanks, are regulated by local agencies (e.g., counties), and these agencies are best able to provide permitting information at this time. The State Water Resources Control Board is developing statewide regulations for on-site wastewater treatment systems. In time, more information regarding on-site wastewater treatment systems will be available here. For now, information may be obtained by contacting Blair Allen at ballen@waterboards.ca.gov or (510) 622-2305.
