For example, installation and modification of a septic system should be handled by a professional.
Before adding a bedroom or any additional sources, a modification permit will need to be submitted to the Deming field office.
Anyone planning to subdivide a lot should make sure their lot meets the minimum size requirements.
Also, the entire system must be located on the same lot.
And before selling property, the septic system must be inspected by a professional evaluator.
