Residential Sanitary Design

T. M. Gates, Inc. will work with you to design and permit the most feasible, desirable and cost effective sanitary system for your lot. We are not product distributors or equipment manufactures and are therefore not limited to a particular treatment system or onsite dispersal methodology. As a result, we can recommend the best treatment and onsite discharge system for your particular lot, since there is no one system perfect for every lot.

The following is a typical chronological list of items that T. M. Gates, Inc. will provide to obtain a sanitary permit from the County:

1.	First conversation: determine type of building, daily flow, location and size of lot.
2.	Enter into services agreement with T. M. Gates, Inc.
3.	Meet at the site with soils evaluator to determine best location for the system in relation to property lines, house, driveway, etc. T. M. Gates, Inc. will "stake out" the location of the onsite dispersal field (i.e. leach field, mound, drip field, etc.)
4.	T. M. Gates, Inc. obtains a soils report from the soils evaluator.

7.	T. M. Gates, Inc. sends plans to homeowner/builder for their review. If no changes are necessary homeowner/builder submits plans to the County for review. T. M. Gates, Inc. can submit the plans to the County and "walk the plans through" the permitting proccess for an added fee.
