Vermont Wastewater System & Potable Water Supply Permitting Notice:

In Vermont, county governments have no regulatory authority over wastewater systems. Onsite sewage and drinking water supplies are governed statewide under the Wastewater System and Potable Water Supply Rules (Environmental Protection Rules, Chapter 1) administered by the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation (VT DEC) Drinking Water and Groundwater Protection Division. All permits (WW Permits) and designer certifications are processed and archived centrally through regional VT DEC environmental assistance offices (Essex Junction, Montpelier, Rutland, Springfield, and St. Johnsbury).
