Septic Inspections in Purcellville, VA

Under Title 12VAC5-613, Emergency Regulations for Alternative Onsite Sewage Systems, of the Code of Virginia, all homeowners who own an alternative septic system (AOSS) are required to have that system inspected annually for major deficiencies. Loudoun County, VA was the first county to implement inspections. All alternative septic systems must have a yearly inspection by a certified and licensed DPOR operator. These inspections are to be completed by a date established by the county.

FOR EXAMPLE: Loudoun County septic inspections are required yearly and are due by July 1. The inspections are completed between January 1 and July 1. Homeowners from other counties should check with their county health department to find out if their county is requiring a AOSS inspection and when it’s due. Homeowners can find more information by going to the Virginia Department of Health website.
