The Carroll County General Health District ensures wastewater, or sewage, is properly treated and handled appropriately to prevent public health nuisances in Carroll County. The Environmental Health Division handles the permitting process for Sewage Treatment Systems (STS) and Gray Water Recycling Systems (GWRS).
The Environmental Health Specialists inspect the installation of new and replacement STS. This includes inspecting the septic tanks and leach lines for level installation and on proper contour. The EHS also inspects that the system is installed per the design and has the appropriate soil depths and cover requirements. Mechanical components are also inspected to make sure they are functioning properly at the time of start up. This can include pumps, aerators, failsafe mechanisms, and spray irrigation.
