Does my new home have a septic system? How do I find it?
You most likely have a septic system if:
- You are on well water;
- The water line coming into your house does not have a meter;
- Your neighbors have a septic system; or,
- You live in a rural area.
- You can find your septic system by:
- Looking at the “as built” drawing for your home’s septic system, which you can request from your local (e.g., town, county, or state) health department’s records;
- Checking your yard for inspection caps, lids, or manhole covers;
- Working with a septic system service provider, who can help locate the system; and,
- Asking the seller or realtor.
