On-site Sewage -
WAC 246-272A
If you are building a new home and will not be hooking up to a city sewer
system, you will need a septic system for your home. It is required that you
have a septic permit before you can get a building permit. To obtain a
septic permit you will need to have a site evaluation performed by an
Environmental Health specialist to determine the type of septic system you need
to install. The cost for this evaluation is $350.00. The paperwork for this process
is available at the Environmental Health office.
After the site evaluation is complete, you will submit a septic system design
application, along with the appropriate fee, to the Environmental Health office.
Homeowners planning to design and install their own septic system are allowed to
design and install only gravity flow systems. This process requires an
additional fee of $165. All other types of septic systems must be done by a
licensed installer.
A license is required for all septic system installers and designers wanting
to contract work in Kittitas County. These licenses are available through the
Environmental Health office.
A license is required of all septic tank pumpers contracting work in Kittitas
County. These licenses are available through the Environmental Health office.
