Household Sewage Treatment Systems
Much of Marion County is unsewered so individual home sewage systems are necessary in order for home building to continue. Staff sanitarians evaluate each property to determine if a home sewage system can be installed, and if the designed system will work efficiently in a safe, healthy manner. Complaints involving malfunctioning systems are investigated and orders to repair are issued with follow up action to assure correction. Sewage installers, liquid waste haulers, and service providers are also registered and inspected by the health district.

Marion Public Health has a full-time plumbing inspector for both new commercial and new residential construction. All plumbing must conform to the international plumbing code. All inspections must be done before the property can be occupied.

Private Water Program
Clean, healthful water is a necessity for everyone. Therefore, in areas where there is no municipal water system, individual wells are necessary. Well water safety is maintained through registration of water system contractors, inspections, water sampling for laboratory analysis, technical assistance and public education. Sanitarians insure that well development meets State Code requirements to reduce the possibilities of ground water contamination. Water hauler vehicles are also inspected annually.
