What about people who have septic systems and are not connected to public sewer?
A very small percentage of households in Enfield have septic systems and are not connected to the sewer system. These households will not be assessed a sewer fee as they do not contribute to the sewer plant.

However, septage haulers that choose to discharge to the Enfield WPCF will need a $100 annual discharge permit and be charged $60 per 1,000 gallons based upon the full capacity of their septage truck.
