Septic System And Well Records Now Available Online For Clarke County Properties

Clarke County and the Virginia Department of Health (VDH) have launched its Online Responsible Maintenance Entity (OnlineRME) database. The purpose is to provide an online, publicly accessible, complete, and up-to-date database of all county onsite sewage system “septic system” records. These records will assist homeowners, contractors, and onsite sewage system operators in understanding the system type, maintenance requirements, and, in some cases, the location of wells and onsite sewage system components. 

The system will also be used to remind property owners when pump-outs of conventional onsite sewage systems (COSS) and inspections of operation and 

maintenance of alternative onsite sewage systems are due.

 To access your records, go to: clarkecounty.gov/residents/septic-pump-out.

The county’s goal is to make this the most complete and accurate database possible, and encourages everyone to check their records. If you have additional information regarding your system or need assistance with accessing records, contact the Clarke County Planning Department, Alison Teetor, ateetor@clarkecounty.gov, 540-955-5177. Contact the Clarke County Health Department at 540-955-1033with any technical questions regarding your septic system or well records.
