Old systems left in the ground unmaintained can become a safety hazard. If the system is not decommissioned properly, the county has to assume that the system is still being used and will need to assess a $36 annual OSS fee; and homeowners will need to have the system inspected by a certified inspector, which would incur unnecessary costs to homeowners.
Homeowners wanting more information on septic tank decommissioning, please read or print the decommissioning literature.
