Plan to build in Kitsap County?

If you plan to build your dream home in Kitsap County outside one of the few areas with sewer hookups, you'll have to pay close attention to septic requirements. Annoying, perhaps, to city dwellers who have never had to worry about what happens after they flush, but very, very important.

We worry what happens to our water resources, whether to our wells or to our recreational water. Your builder will have to follow strict poop regulations.

Don't be upset by their complexity--be thankful that we care what we drink and fish in!
