All North Andover Residents with Septic Systems and Garbage Disposals
Please note that due to a recent review of a Title 5 Report, your property has been identified as
maintaining a working garbage disposal that is being used in conjunction with a septic system.
The Health Department is concerned for the longevity of your septic system.
Garbage disposals are never recommended where septic systems are used, but if they are
installed,the system must be specifically designed to handle the waste from them; your system
can not handle the waste as designed. Please note that continued use of this disposal could
quickly cause a premature failure of your septic system, resulting in a large expenditure to
replace it. The North Andover Health Department recommends that you remove it from your
home as soon as possible.
Some information regarding regular maintenance of your septic system is attached. Please call
the Health Department at 978.688.9540 if you have any questions, or e-mail your questions to:
healthdept(z7northandoverma.gov.
Thank you for taking the time to consider the impact that your current setup has on your septic
system and the environment.
