Sewer - (See Water section above for Town services inside Town limits) Outside Town limits you will need to provide your own septic system. Contact the Environmental Division of the Monroe County Health Department (in the office 8-9 AM, then out in the field the rest of the day). Here’s how it works: When you’re ready for construction, fill out the application at the Courthouse Annex and pay the $250 fee. Within 5-10 working days the Environmentalist will visit the site and may require a soil evaluation (may be another $200 fee for soil testing, mapping, etc.). When the Environmentalist is satisfied, he/she will issue a permit describing the required system. You must obtain a licensed installer to construct the system according to the Permit and notify the Environmentalist when work is completed. The Environmentalist will inspect and issue a Certificate of Completion. For new construction, the electrical inspector must have a copy of the Cert. of Completion before he will allow the final elect. turn-on (State Law).

The Permits may be purchased locally at Yates Home Store and Tallent Hardware, as well as Wholesale Supply and Sloan Center in Madisonville.
