Individual Onsite Sewage and Water Program


The West Virginia Department of Health has established regulations and design standards for Individual Sewage Systems and the drilling of Water Wells. The standards have been developed to protect those members of the public who will depend upon ground water sources. You, as the homeowner, should be aware of the following requirements:


​Individual Sewage Systems:      

  1. A Sewage System Installer must be certified by the State of West Virginia  
  2. Homeowners and Sewage System Installers must obtain permits to install an Individual Sewage System     
  3. A septic permit must be obtained before any building permits will be issued     
  4. All Individual Sewage Systems must be constructed to meet the minimum design standards

Homeowners who wish to have their water supply sampled must fill out a Request for Water Analysis form and submit it to the Grant Health Department.
