On-Site Wastewater Treatment Systems (OWTS) Program

Septic Systems

An On-Site Wastewater Treatment System (OWTS), commonly known as a septic system, treats the wastewater on an individual’s property. Septic systems are installed on properties that cannot be served by a wastewater utility. Las Animas-Huerfano County District Health Department permits the installation, repair, and use of these systems in the County.

OWTS Permits

A OWTS/septic permit application must be completed and submitted to this department with the appropriate fee prior to installing any onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS).
