For new construction, permits are required from both the city and Sedgwick County, and if your system releases wastewater into surface water, you also need to obtain a permit from the Kansas Department of Health and Environment.

The county also has a stipulation that homeowners are not allowed to pull wastewater permits. Only a licensed wastewater installer like Mr. Blue Plumbing can pull these permits. When applying for your permit, you are required to submit detailed plans including sketches with detailed measurements.

You must also submit soil testing results including a soil survey and groundwater depth measurements with your plans. After your application is submitted, it will be reviewed by the Metropolitan Area Building and Construction Department and will either be approved, denied, or more information will be requested.

Depending on if you are installing a septic tank or a lagoon and if it is a brand new construction or an existing home, your installation costs can vary. These costs do not account for inspection fees, permit costs, and any general contractor fees, if required. They also do not include sales tax on materials. There are a few factors that will influence the cost of your septic system installation.

Most prices include the cost of excavation to install the system, but not the cost of removing trees, adding a fence for a lagoon, or any other landscaping that might be required.

A fence, in particular, can add a significant amount to your costs. The size of the fence needed is a large factor in calculating these costs since fencing material is priced based on linear feet needed. As with most things, the larger the septic system you need, the more expensive it will be.

This price includes the cost of excavation, constructing the drain field, piping, and the septic tank. It does not include any tree removal, inspections, permits, or percolation tests which are often required during the final inspection of the system. For a lagoon, the price can vary depending on what type of lagoon you are installing, but larger lagoons will still be more expensive. Our team is available for service calls six days a week.

This type of waste disposal system is less expensive to construct. Sewage lagoons are pits that uses the sun and wind to process the waste. They need more space and are sensitive to local water conditions. While both of these waste disposal systems utilize septic tanks, there are some key differences between them. Both systems utilize a septic tank to capture waste and the septic tanks contain bacteria that break down the solid waste. These tanks need to be periodically cleaned to remove any waste that accumulates.

At Sunflower Services, we offer waste disposal services for any type of septic system your home has. In Kansas, homeowners can select either an above ground storage system or an underground storage system. Only licensed contractors may install septic systems. In addition, county governments may also carry further requirements; specifically, counties may increase the required amount of unsaturated soil that must be present beneath the dispersal field.

For this reason, it is important to consult both offices before beginning any installation process.
