Onlot Septic Systems Maintenance Program

As mandated by DEP, and in accordance with the recently adopted Silver Spring Township Ordinance No. 7 of 2009, the Township has enacted provisions for the inspection, maintenance, and repair of onlot septic systems. These requirements apply to all property owners who utilize onlot systems to treat and dispose of sewage in the Township.
The most significant provision included in the Ordinance is the requirement that once every five years property owners are obligated to have their septic tank pumped and system inspected. Please (Click Here) to see the map depicting sewer management districts for the scheduling of these activities. The following table lists the pumping/inspection schedule for the first time through the five year cycle, additional years following sequentially:
                                    District 1         2009
