Description
Chapter 64E-6-2018 is a Florida Administrative Code rule that sets the standards for the design, installation, operation, and maintenance of Onsite Sewage Treatment and Disposal Systems (OSTDS), also known as septic systems. These regulations, managed by the Florida Department of Health (DOH) county health departments, ensure these systems adequately protect public health and the state’s groundwater by covering aspects like system sizing, permitting, site evaluations, construction materials, drainfield design, and aerobic treatment unit operation.
