FAQ

Does a new bathroom or bedroom need septic review in western Delaware County?

First confirm whether the home uses on-lot sewage. For a property in Thornbury, Edgmont, Chadds Ford, Concord, Bethel, Middletown or elsewhere, the town name alone does not establish its sewage arrangement. Review the proposed bedroom, bathroom, room conversion and wastewater-flow changes early with the actual system records.

DCHD provides an existing-system, change-of-use or amended-flows evaluation that considers permits, current and proposed bedrooms, project details and sewage flows. The proposal and system determine the applicable review or modifications; adding a bathroom is not automatically the same as adding a bedroom or expanding the system. NK coordinates the required input within the agreed project scope.
