Gallatin City-County Health Department's goal is to protect human health and the environment through proper treatment and disposal practices in Gallatin County. The department achieves this through education, individual registration, inspections, and a system for reporting and resolving problems.
Important Requirements
*A local wastewater treatment system permit is ALWAYS required before a system (non-public or public) is installed.
*Site evaluations must be performed by a Gallatin County Registered Site Evaluator or a Professional Engineer registered in the state of Montana.
Non-public Wastewater Treatment Systems
 Environmental Health Services is responsible for ensuring that non-public wastewater treatment systems (individual/shared, multi-user) are permitted and installed in accordance with state and local regulations. Proper placement, type and sizing of systems is based on either a Certificate of Subdivision Approval (COSA) or a site evaluation which assesses the site to determine if suitable conditions exist
for on-site wastewater treatment and dispersal.
Public Wastewater Treatment Systems
Septic Pumpers
Septic pumpers are required to obtain a license from MDEQ. Their equipment and disposal sites are regulated to ensure proper treatment of waste.
