Can gov't force services?

[guestposter]

County ordinence states that I can put in my own septic as long as it is non presserized. I can not find a designer that will do a design that's non-pressurized. Can the gov't force me to pay someone to do something I can do myself?

I don't know what the law states regarding the requirements. If it requires someone to be licensed, you may have a problem. If it just requires that the item qualify as being non-pressurized, it would appear you can do it yourself.

Simply put, Yes they can. An improperly installed septic system can potentially affect the safety and health of those living within a mile of you.
