Who regulates this work in Maine
Maine splits this job across three people. A Licensed Site Evaluator reads the soil and designs the system. The permit comes from the Local Plumbing Inspector at the town, not the county and not the state. A certified installer builds it. Nothing starts until the town has issued the permit.
- Authority
- Maine CDC, Division of Environmental Health, Subsurface Wastewater Program
- Who issues a permit
- the Local Plumbing Inspector at the town, which is neither the county nor the state
What to ask before you hire
- Who is doing the site evaluation. Most systems need a Licensed Site Evaluator to design them and the installer is usually not that person.
- Which town issues the permit. It is the Local Plumbing Inspector, so it is a town office rather than a county or state one.
- Who inspects the bed before it is covered, and whether that has been agreed with the town.
The exact certifications, the exam and the fees differ by state and they change. Check the current rules with Maine CDC, Division of Environmental Health, Subsurface Wastewater Program before you rely on any of it.
