The Daviess County Health Department is committed to ensuring

that residential septic systems are being installed and maintained by

all county residents.  Through requiring application for a residential

septic system permit PRIOR TO CONSTRUCTION and installation by a

certified installer the Health Department can better insure that residential

septic systems are upholding the requirements as set forth in

Indiana’s Rule 410 IAC 6-8.1

 

The Daviess County Environmental Health Services Staff are available

Monday through Friday from 8:00 am to 4:00 pm to assist Daviess County

Residents in obtaining information regarding septic system requirements and
