I’m on a septic system, and it needs to be replaced. May I replace it with a new one?

A property owner must connect to the sewer system if the property is within 200 feet of a sewer main line. If the property is outside the 200 feet from a sewer main, the property may be able to replace the current septic tank with a new one. Approval of a new septic tank will need to be done through the Regional Water Quality Control Board, San Bernardino County Environmental Health Division, and San Bernardino Building & Safety.
