TextSeptic Systems
When
public sewer is not available, a septic system may be installed with the
approval from the Fairfax County Division of Environmental Health. For
more information on septic systems, please visit the Division of Environmental Health website or call them
at 703-246-2201, TTY 711.
Homeowners whose septic systems are failing, and deemed non-repairable
by the Division of Environmental Health, will be required to connect to
sewer if the property is within 300 feet of available public sanitary
sewer.
For failing septic systems where sanitary sewer is not available,
property owners should contact the Division of Environmental Health for
available alternatives.
All outhouses in use today in Fairfax County have been grandfathered.
All new construction will be required to have a sewage disposal system
that is approved under the current codes.
