Installation, Alteration, Repair, & Replacement of an STS
The Jefferson County General Health District is the first place to contact if you want to install a new sewage treatment system (STS), or alter, replace or abandon your existing sewage system. JCGHD will work with you to ensure a comprehensive review of your system, property and water use to determine the best solutions for proper wastewater treatment for your home, or to determine the correct repair of a malfunctioning system. Construction or repairs cannot begin until the installer or resident has a permit from the JCGHD.
Please download and print the abandonment permit to begin the process.
