Focus On Water
Well and Septic Loan Evaluation Program

Staff conduct evaluations of domestic water supplies and onsite wastewater treatment systems at the request of home owners, purchasers, or mortgage lending institutions. Many lenders require an inspection of the onsite water and wastewater treatment systems for compliance with applicable State of Nebraska regulations prior to granting a loan. During the evaluation, staff visually inspect the water well and the onsite wastewater treatment system and collect water samples to test for bacteria and nitrates.
