Welcome to the Septic System Program information page! The Environmental
Health Section of the Columbia County Health Department issues over 1000
septic system permits every year, and we provide inspection, site evaluation,
and enforcement services for the septic systems located in Columbia
County. By ensuring septic systems are adequately sized, installed, and
maintained, we help protect groundwater quality and the health of the many
residents in our county for whom municipal sewer service is not available.
The Septic System Program is regulated under Chapter 64E-6, Florida
Administrative Code.
