Orange Sanitary Engineering Reviews Water and Sewage Plans

Orange County’s Sanitary Engineering route is worth checking before assuming a parcel is ready for water and sewage service. The bureau reviews plans for new or changed public water supply systems. It also reviews sewage disposal and water supply plans for some realty subdivisions.

For private systems, the bureau reviews sewage-disposal plans at regulated facilities and smaller subdivisions submitted by localities. It also reviews water-treatment plans for smaller non-public water systems. That does not mean every house project goes through the same door.

A town, village, engineer, or county office may need to sort the route at the start. That is especially true when a site plan, subdivision, septic design, or small water system is still being drawn.

Keep the Sanitary Engineering page with the site plan, parcel number, engineer contact, municipality, and date searched. Ask whether the next step belongs with Orange County Health, a local building or code office, or another reviewing agency. Water and sewage questions are much easier before the design is treated as finished.

For Orange County, keep Sanitary Engineering, Health Department, municipality, engineer, site plan, septic design, water-supply question, and parcel number together until the review route is clear.
