The Comal County Environmental Health Department reviews all designs
by Registered Sanitarians and Professional Engineers for onsite septic
construction. The department is charged with enforcement of county and
state laws and regulations. The department responds to complaints concerning
health violations in illegal waste water dumping and other nuisances.
Fees are collected for septic system inspections to offset actual expenses.
Before building, altering,
extending or operating an on-site sewage facility, a person must have
a permit and approved plans from the TCEQ or its authorized agent. A qualified
site evaluator must conduct a site and soil evaluation. The system must
be planned by a person authorized by the permitting authority under current
regulation.
