Can I use a septic system (actually, an Onsite Wastewater Treatment System) to service my property?

A minimum of 3 acres is required for the installation of a new Onsite Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS). Also, if a viable public sewer is within 200 feet of the property, you must connect to public sewer.
