Wareham septic rules and Title 5 requirements

Wareham's Title V regulations require a Disposal Works Construction Permit and prescribe local alternative-system reporting.

Pumping and records

State Title 5: submit the pumping record to the local approving authority within 14 days of pumping.

Title 5 and inspections

No construction, alteration, installation, or repair without a Board of Health Disposal Works Construction Permit; alternative-system monitoring/inspection reports go to the Board or its designee within 30 days.

Hauler permits

State Title 5 requires a Board of Health permit where septage is collected; permit expires each calendar year unless a local rule provides otherwise.

Published fees

No current local septic fee verified.

Filing workflow

Submit required reports in the Health Agent's designated format; obtain permit before regulated work.

Caveat or conflict

Construction permits expire two years from issue; confirm current fees and any separate hauler rule.
