The Amarillo Area Public Health District is responsible for permitting and inspecting septic systems in Potter and Randall Counties. The Environmental Health Department serves as the Permitting Authority for these counties, employing licensed Designated Representatives through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). This authority is granted by County Order in both Potter and Randall Counties. The standards for permitting, installing, and operating OSSFs are governed by Title 30 of the Texas Administrative Code, Chapter 285.
Since the late 1970s, the Health District has ensured that on-site sewage facilities (OSSF) provide a safe method of sewage disposal without harming people or the environment.
