When Will You Make Your Deck? (HAH-HAH!)

You will have to get a permit to create a deck.  Does your property have a septic
system, cistern, spring, well, or pond? I hope that the answer is yes for a septic
system. HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH-HAH!

The septic system components must be isolated at least 10 feet from a building
or structure. The measurements will be done from the foundation. If the entry to
the system regarding cleaning and maintenance remain available, the inclusion
of decks and pools that are above the ground will not occur.

The systems regarding sewage can be set up within 2 feet of a building or struct-
ure. Cisterns, ponds, springs, and wells need to be 10 feet away from the found-
ation also. A zoning official can approve zoning for you.
