Before requesting septic service
Confirm the property’s wastewater setup.
If the property receives a wastewater bill, contact the utility when the problem may be on the public side. If it has a septic system, gather the onsite records and service history.
A single slow fixture is often a building-plumbing issue; whole-home symptoms, tank alarms or wet ground near the onsite system point to a different response.
For property transactions, use the current Arizona transfer-inspection process and the responsible local authority’s filing instructions. Pima County regulates septic systems, while public-sewer questions may involve the Town of Sahuarita or Pima County Regional Wastewater Reclamation depending on the property.
