On-Site Septic System Permit – Proper disposal of sewage is of utmost importance for personal health and environmental reasons. Prior to installation of a private septic system contact the Waller County Environmental Department for permit requirements. Septic systems must be properly designed, permitted, installed and maintained to avoid violations of relevant state and local laws and regulations. Failure to abide by the regulations could result in both civil and criminal sanctions.
