Sewage Treatment Systems (STS)
are individual systems that treat and dispose of the sewage
generated from a household or small business where a sanitary
sewer collection system is not
available. These individual
systems typically serve one
occupied structure.
Home Sewage Treatment Systems
(HSTS) are a type of STS that serve a one, two,
or three-family home dwelling unit. The Health District
regulates these systems from evaluation to abandonment.
Small Flow Onsite Sewage Treatment
Systems (SFOSTS) are a type of STS that serve
occupied structures that are not one, two, or three-family
home dwelling units, generate less than 1000 gallons of
sewage flow per day, and the treated sewage effluent is
dispersed by soil absorption rather than being discharged
to
a ditch, creek or stream. Beginning April 26, 2007,
the Health District will be regulating all aspects of
these systems from evaluation to abandonment.
Semi-Public Systems serve
occupied structures that are not one, two, or three-family
home dwelling units, generate less than 25,000 gallons
of sewage flow per day, but do not include SFOSTS.
The treated sewage effluent is either treated on site
through soil absorption or discharged to a roadside ditch,
creek or stream. The Ohio EPA is responsible for
the evaluation and approval of designs for these systems,
but the Health District inspects the installation and
operation of over 600
semi-public systems at least once each year.
Private Water Systems (PWS)
refer to water wells, springs, ponds, hauled water storage
and cisterns. The Health District ensures that water
safety is maintained through registration
of water system contractors, inspections, water sampling
for laboratory analysis, technical assistance, and public
education. Water hauler vehicles are also inspected annually.
