The Texas legislature passed a law in 1987 to regulate on-site sewage facility (OSSF) systems statewide and is overseen by Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ).  In certain areas, local authorities govern the rules set out by TCEQ.  In all cases, a permit to install a system is required along with a site design.   There are numerous types of on-site wastewater systems, more commonly referred to as septic systems  The choice of the system is based on the site and soil conditions.   Choosing the appropriate system is critical to the system's success.  If you choose the wrong system or design, it can fail,  which would result in pollution of your property and that of others.   Examples of treatment options include septic tanks, aerobic treatment units, sand filters, and trickling filters.
