If your septic system failed the Title 5 Inspection, and sewer is available in your street, you will need to connect to it; contact someone licensed as a Drain layer by the town to do that work for you. The Health Division maintains a list of drain layers; because it is always changing, contact us for the latest version.You will need to contact a private engineer or engineering firm to design a new septic system, and they will guide you through the process. Your pumper may have someone to recommend, or speak to your friends who have had the work done before and can provide a reference. The Health Division also maintains a mailing list of engineers who desire to work in Andover (we do not license or approve them); we recommend that you obtain at least three price estimates.
