What happens if the Environmental Department finds a problem with the septic system?
If it is a minor problem, like a missing baffle or tee in the tank, it can be fixed without major expense. However, if there is sewage surfacing or a cracked tank, then a holding tank will be required if the property is within 200 feet of the lake. Also, if a sewer is available, the property owner will have to connect at that time.
