Low, wet ground near the coast
Savannah sits just above sea level and is prone to flooding from heavy rain and storm surge. On coastal ground, groundwater is a central question for septic design, and Georgia's permit application must cover the seasonal high groundwater table along with the soil. Georgia's public health department also publishes guidance on septic tanks and floods. Ask any installer how it handles high water tables and whether it works on alternative systems.
How septic permits work in Georgia
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.
