Septic Permits
As of June 1, 2023, the Delaware County Health Department (DCHD) is responsible for inspections, investigations, permit issuance, and enforcement in accordance with Pennsylvania Act 537. Accordingly, DCHD will process and issue permits for the installation of individual and small community on-lot sewage disposal systems.
