Who approves Septic System Designs?
The Albany County Health Department approves and regulates on-site wastewater treatment systems and residential septic systems, as well as private water systems. Maintenance Issues If you own a septic system, it is important that it be properly maintained. How often you need to pump the solids out of your septic tank depends on three major factors: • the number of people in your household; • the amount of wastewater generated (based on the number of people in the household and the amount of water used); and • the volume of solids in the wastewater (e.g., using a garbage disposal will increase the amount of solids). Although your septic tank absorption field generally does not require maintenance, you should adhere to the following rules to protect and prolong its functional life: • Do not drive over the absorption field with cars, trucks, or heavy equipment. • Do not plant trees or shrubbery in the absorption field area, because the roots can get into the lines and plug them. • Do not
