WASTE WATER
- A permit is required prior to the construction or major repair of a sewage system for single-family residences located on lots less than five acres.
- A permit is required prior to the construction or major repair of a sewage system serving a facility other than a single-family residence, regardless of lot size (examples: churches, commercial properties, more than one residence on one property deed, etc.).
- A permit is required prior to the construction or major repair of a sewer system on any lot that is adjacent to a lake regulated by a Public Utility or the United States Army Corps of Engineers.
- A permit is required regardless of lot size when, during a complaint investigation, a home is found to be in violation of RSMo 701.025 through 701.059. Under the complaint procedure, a permit would be required for either a new installation or for a major repair to the existing system.
- On-Site Sewage
Chapter 701.025-701.059 RSMo, which regulates the disposal of sewage, was passed into law in 1995. Under chapter 701 owners of all buildings where people live, work or otherwise congregate are required to provide a means of sanitary disposal of all sewage generated in such building. On residential lots smaller than five acres and on all commercial lots the owners are required to obtain a construction permit and follow all rules and regulations regarding the minimum construction standards for the sewer system. Residential lots larger than five acres that are adjacent to the Lake of the Ozarks are also required to obtain a construction permit. In July of 1997 the Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services delegated this governing authority to the Morgan County Health Center and other local public health associations. The Environmental Health Specialists at MCHC are responsible for implementing the rules and regulations set forth by MO DOH as well as investigating sewage complaints in Morgan County. Application packets for construction permits are kept in the office and include a partial list of Missouri registered installers in the tri-county area as well as a statewide list of Missouri Soil Scientists and Professioanl Engineers. Copies of the On-Site sewage Rules and Regulaitons booklets may also be obtained at the office. Forms are also available for downlaod.
