POWTS Maintenance Program
POWTS Maintenance Online Reporting - search & login page
The Fond du Lac County Code Enforcement Office implements a POWTS maintenance program in accordance with Wisconsin Administrative Code SPS 383 and in accordance with the Fond du Lac County POWTS Ordinance-Chapter 58 Article II of the Fond du Lac County Code of Ordinances. Depending on the size of your septic tank, pumping is required from one to three years. Notices will be sent to the property owner, from this office, at the appropriate pumping interval.
An annual $13.00 administrative fee will be placed as a special assessment/charge on the property tax bill. This annual fee is used to fund the program costs associated with tracking and enforcing the maintenance of sanitary systems.
The online reporting system also allows property owners the ability to search and view their sanitary system information and previous maintenance dates. The link above will bring you to the search screen. From here you enter only one box to search by, i.e. last name, fire number - no street name (N5555, W5555), or sanitary permit number (starting with either s or o).
Please contact the Code Enforcement Office at (920) 929-3139 if you have any questions about the special assessment or the new reporting process.
