A sanitary sewer system collects and transports waste from indoor plumbing fixtures to treatment plants. The Sanitation Sewer division reviews and issues permits related to sanitation and sewer systems for properties in unincorporated Sonoma County.
In areas where public sewer is not available, homeowners must have septic systems installed on their property that will treat wastewater coming from their home.
This division handles the following permitting activities and services. Please contact Permit Sonoma to discuss sewer and sanitation permitting requirements.
