On-Site Sewage Disposal Systems

Permits

  1. Permits are required for any repairs or replacements of existing on-site sewage disposal systems. Permits are required for all new construction of such systems. Permits are one-hundred dollars ($100.00).

  2. Permits are issued at The Office of Environmental Health, 1900 E. 9th Street, Wichita, KS 67214. Phone (316) 268-8351, or fax (316) 268-8390.

  3. Permits may be obtained through a mail-in or fax procedure; simply complete the EZ-Permit form (available at The Office of  Environmental Health Department), attach all relevant information, and fax or mail the application back.

  4. Permits are valid for a period of one year. After this one-year period, if the system has not yet been constructed and approved for use, the permit shall be renewed.

Inspections
  1. Requests for inspections shall be made the day before the inspection is needed, if possible. Otherwise, the inspection request shall be received between 8:00 AM and 9:00 AM the day the inspection is needed. Requests received after 9:00 AM will not be guaranteed a same-day inspection. (Please remember this on Fridays and before holidays.) Contact The Office of Environmental Health Department at (316) 268-8351.

  2. Sewage systems shall be left open for inspection as The Office of Environmental Health Department deems necessary. In certain instances requiring special procedures, inspectors may allow partial coverage of a system without an inspection. Such coverage shall be agreed to by the inspector prior to any backfilling.
