Pima County Department of Environmental Quality (PDEQ)

Onsite Wastewater Treatment Facility Construction Authorization and Discharge Authorization

The county regulates the construction, including replacement, ownership transfer and closure, of onsite wastewater treatment facilities, according to pima.gov/433. That page states that Pima County must first issue a Construction Authorization, and that after the facility passes a final field inspection, the county must issue a Discharge Authorization. The page describes these systems as used to dispose of household liquid waste where a home is not connected to a municipal sewer system, so a property served by municipal sewer needs no such authorization under this record. The review-fee table linked from pima.gov/509 is undated and states no effective date, so a current amount is not published there and this record carries no dollar figure.
