OSTDS Septic and Sewer Systems

Environmental Public Health

Onsite sewage treatment and disposal systems, commonly referred to as septic systems, are a safe and effective means of wastewater disposal for 30% of Florida’s population. The OSTDS program ensures that systems are properly designed, constructed, and maintained through permitting and inspection and contributes to safe ground water, which provides 90% of Florida’s drinking water. 

Resources

Septic tank improvement grants are available to areas near DeLeon Springs. Visit Volusia County Government for details.
