Liquid waste from a treatment tank percolates through the soil, where is it neutralized and broken down. Up to 50% of the solids retained in the tank decompose: the remainder accumulates in the tank.

New permit application is $400.00 and a renewal permit application is $100.00. Please direct your On-Lot Sewage questions to Damian DeGeorge - SEO 570-223-8920. |
