Zoning, building permits and septic rules in Town of Wingville, Wisconsin

Rules another office applies inside Town of Wingville

Town of Wingville does not set these itself; the county, a health district or the state does, and they apply to every address inside its limits.

• Who permits septicCounty (with conditions)

  Private on-site wastewater (septic) systems on land inside Wingville town (county code applies countywide, including inside the town)

  • Grant County Chapter 225 governs private on-site wastewater treatment systems and provides for both state and county sanitary permits; the county administers the program through the Conservation, Sanitation and Zoning administrator (§ 225-31 heading).
  • The table of contents does not show which permit type applies to a given system, and the section text was not opened.
  • Applicability inside Wingville town is inferred from the county's countywide sanitation code; no Wingville page confirming the county role was located.

  “A sanitary permit application and design plan shall be submitted for review with all appropriate documentation per Article IV, §§ 225-25 and 225-26 and Article VI with review fees to the Grant County CS&Z Department.”

• Septic permitRequired

  Installing a private on-site wastewater (septic) system on land inside Wingville town (county code applies countywide, including inside the town)

  • Installation may proceed only after the required sanitary permits are obtained, which makes this conditional rather than prohibited.
  • Wis. Stat. 145.195(2): before issuing a building permit for construction on property not served by a municipal sewage treatment plant, the county, city, town or village must determine that the proposed construction does not interfere with a functioning private on-site system; it may require a detailed plan of the owner's existing system (full sentence not captured).
  • Grant County permit fees, application forms and expiration periods were not captured; see § 225-24 and § 225-25 headings.

  “A state sanitary permit is required for every POWTS installation, component replacement or system modification and every renewal, revision, transfer or change of plumber to an existing sanitary permit.”

• Subdividing landLimited

  Subdivision plats inside Wingville town that are not served by public sewers (county code applies countywide, including inside the town)

  • Grant County Chapter 225 includes a section on subdivision plats not served by public sewers; this record covers only the wastewater aspect.
  • Land-division (subdivision) rules generally were not opened, so the limit is not a full subdivision answer.

  “The provisions of this article are to establish lots and elevations with sufficient areas and soils to permit the installation and use of soils-based POWTS designs to serve one- and two-family dwellings that shall apply to all proposed subdivision plats not served by public sewer.”
