Onsite Sewage
Disposal Systems
Approximately 60-70% of homes in Kentucky rely upon onsite sewage disposal systems as a method to dispose of liquid waste generated from their homes.  When properly designed, installed and maintained septic systems can be the most cost-effective and efficient method of wastewater treatment a homeowner can choose. 

Before buying a new home or land on which to build a new home, contact your local health department and speak to a certified inspector.  Early investigation and planning may save time and money in the future.  In fact, many lending institutions now require an inspection of existing septic systems prior to the approval of loans.

Certified installers are required to obtain at least six (6) hours of continuing education credits each year in order to remain certified.  BRDHD provides this training for about 200 onsite sewage system installers in the Barren River District and some from surrounding counties.
