Town of North Andover Health Det)artment—Guide to the Septic Installation
Process
How to go.from a Title 5 inspection to re airJr g-or rePlAcing a septic system:
If you need a Septic System Inspection done,you need to hire a licensed Title 5 Inspector.
Title 5 Inspectors are licensed by the state of Massachusetts and also permitted to
work in the Town of North Andover. . list of current inspectors can be found at
xvww.towaofnorthandover.co , Health Department section.
The Itispector will perform their assessment and then submit the Septic System Inspection
report to the Health Department within 30 days with check made out to the Town of
,
North Andover in the arnourit of$5 0.00.The result will be either"Pass", 4 C I"Lu)% or
"Conditional"Pass".
In. the event that you have aTide 5 Inspection done and you receive a Pass, there is no
further action required of you at this titne. The report will be submitted to the Health.
Department office within 30 days of completion and will become public record.
In the event that you have a Title 5 Inspection done and you receive a Conditional Pass
(which means the system will pass if a specific item is repaired) the following steps must be
followed:
The homeowner hires a Septic Disposal Works Installer (,SDWI.) permitted by the
Town of NortbAndover.. The list of SDWI's is posted on the'rown of North
Andover website in the Health Department section or is available at at the Health
Department office. NOTE: If the Inspector is also a permitted septic installer. in
North Andover, he or she can perform the installation provided he gives the
homeowner a full list of installers permitted in North Andover.
The hired installer suhtnits an application with a fee of$125 for a component
replacement/repair and the application is reviewed and a pertri.it is generated. The
installer is notified by phone that the permit is ready for pickup. If you only need a
component repair, such as a pipe or a tank, design plans generally do not need to be
subtnitted, except in the case where placement is different. If plans are needed see
Design Plans below.
In the event that you have a Title 5 Inspection done, and you receive a Failing status report,
the following steps must be followed:
Soil Testing
An application to schedule soil and percolation testing must be completed by an
engineer, sanitarian or soil evaluator that you hire,and a fee of$360 (or $425 for
undeveloped lots) in.-List be attached.,trade payable to the Town of North Andover.

A ie- quest is then sent to theTown's septic consultant to schedule soil and
perc(:)Iation testing. 1"he soil testing asually takes place within two weeks.
)0, The consultant notifies the soil evaluator,"dien the testing will take place.
Soil testing is completed and results are sent to the I lealth,Department and enp�;inem
s i 9M I--.Plans
...--
'I'lie,homeowner hires an engineer or sanitarian to design a septic systent,and
produce a plan reflecting the placement of the systern and all pertinent inforinqtion.
The septic plan is subrnitted to the Health Department with an application and a fee
of$225.00. Plans will be sent by mail for review, however if t1ae engiricer or
sanitarian has provided the I lealtb I.)epartment with a pDF copy of the plan,the
accompanying paperwork, and the PD1' are emailed that day to our Septic
C'onsultant.
The Health Department strives to coniplete reviews of design plans within three
weeks' time. Maximum tune allowed is 45 days though this is rarely needed.
Once reviewed, an api.-noval or disapproval letter is generated and sent to the
homeowner and engineer or sanitarian. If approved, the homeowner can bi.re an
installer to build the approved septic systern as described below. If disapproved, the
engineer or sanitarian must address the missing or deficient criteria, and sulmnit a
revised plan for re-review.
If site constraints x.-e such that the plan cannot comply with the s-tandqrds in the
regUlAtiOnS and requires a vartance request frotm those standards to be reviewed, the
engineer or sanitarian will note that on the plan and make a request in writing to he
present at an upcoming tnecting of the North,Andover Board of Health. Once the
plan is Substantially approvable it will be placed on the neat available monthly BOH
ineeting.
Sorn,e, septic systern projects will require review and,approval from other'Town
departments or boards in addition to the I lealffi Department and Board of I]ealtb.
If needed this is usually frc)rn the Clouservation (I"orntinssionif the work is proposed
in their jurisdiction. You can learn more about this from your engineer a.at sanitariati.
