Who regulates this work in Maine

- Maine CDC, Division of Environmental Health, Subsurface Wastewater Program

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.
