Cesspool to sewer
Cesspool to sewer connection in Rhode Island
Selling or buying a home that still has a cesspool? Where a sewer main is available, we dig the trench and make the sewer tie-in.
The rule
What happens to a cesspool at sale
Under Rhode Island law, when a property served by a cesspool is sold or transferred, the cesspool has to be removed and replaced with an onsite wastewater treatment system, or the building connected to a public sewer, within twelve months of the sale or transfer.
That’s R.I. Gen. Laws § 23-19.15-12, enforced by the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management (RIDEM). For the official rules, see RIDEM’s onsite wastewater pages.
We’re a site contractor, not lawyers: check your own situation with RIDEM, your attorney or your realtor. What we do is the physical work of connecting the house to the sewer.
