Can I connect my ADU/JADU to my existing septic system?

To determine the septic requirements for an ADU/JADU Environmental Health staff will need to review the file for your parcel.  Based upon the age of the system, sizing of the system and other required data our staff will determine the sewage disposal requirements for the ADU.  More than likely, soils testing (perc and mantle) will need to be completed with Environmental Health and a private sewage disposal consultant.  ADUs must be sized for a minimum of 2 bedrooms and be served by a separate septic tank.
