Waste water treatment is an
important component of groundwater quality
control. Waste water is the used water supply of
a home, business, or community. In rural areas,
used water returns to the ground through an on-site
sewage system. The Sewage Disposal Program
evaluates soil to determine its ability to properly
treat waste water before returning to the groundwater,
issues a permit, and monitors the construction of the
system. Authority for this program is set forth
in the Tuscola County Environmental Health Code and
Michigan Criteria for Subsurface Sewage Disposal |
