HOW ARE SEPTIC SYSTEMS DESIGNED?

Septic systems are designed based off of the title 5 state environmental code. The title 5 regulations ensure that your septic system has adequate separation to groundwater, horizontal offsets to buildings and property lines, and that the soil type corresponds with the size of the septic system. Many towns have additional regulations on top of the state title 5 code, but the state code is there to outline the minimum requirements.
