In 2015, the State of Ohio adopted new regulations which require that local health departments issue an operation permit for all households with a sewage treatment system (STS). Each STS will receive a permit that identifies a permit length, how often the STS needs to be inspected, and the maintenance that must be completed during each of those inspections. The homeowner is responsible for paying for the operation permit fee and hiring a service provider to inspect and maintain the system. The goal of this program is to improve the water quality in Summit County and the surrounding watersheds
