Georgia City Directory
Fayetteville is the county seat of Fayette County, south of Atlanta. It was founded as the seat of the newly formed county, and today it is also home to Trilith Studios, a large film studio campus. Septic permits for lots in and around Fayetteville come from the Fayette County health department.
These are local septic companies that may provide septic service such as septic tank pumping, septic repair or septic installation. A service is shown only when that company's own website confirms it.

Georgia's rules require a county construction permit before any septic system is installed, issued after a site inspection of soil, groundwater and rock. Have the address and bedroom count ready, and ask whether the company files the permit for you. Fayette County also has a county page in this directory for service-area businesses with no city listed.
Georgia's onsite sewage rules (Rule 511-3-1-.03 of the Georgia Department of Public Health) say no one may install a septic system, or begin developing a lot that will use one, without first getting a construction permit from the County Health Department. Repairs, replacements and additions to existing systems must be permitted and inspected too.
The application covers the property, the planned system, the number of bedrooms and the soil, including seasonal high groundwater and any rock. The county issues the permit only after a site inspection with favorable findings, and a system may not be covered or used until the county has made a final inspection and approved it in writing.
The Department certifies the people who install, inspect, pump and repair septic systems, and publishes lists of certified installers, pumpers and soil classifiers. A certification from another state does not carry over to Georgia.
