Is a homeowner who does not have the proper certification allowed to work on or pump their own onsite wastewater treatment system?
• No. Only a certified professional, a professional engineer, a registered environmental health specialist or a person under their direct supervision may engage in the inspection, pumping, siting, layout, construction, reconstruction, alteration, modification, repair, or otherwise changing of an onsite wastewater treatment system. There is no homeowner exemption from this requirement.
