Septic Systems And Grease Traps Around Genesee, Colorado

County

Jefferson County

Septic or sewer

Much of the developed Genesee subdivision area is served by a local water and sanitation district. Onsite septic systems serve the surrounding unincorporated Jefferson County mountain parcels outside that service area.

Soil and site conditions

Mountain ground here is shallow decomposed granite over bedrock with steep grades. Absorption field siting is constrained, and engineered systems with pump chambers are common.

Permit authority

Jefferson County Public Health, Environmental Health Services, permits and inspects onsite wastewater treatment systems on unincorporated Jefferson County property around Genesee.

Typical system age

Systems outside the district service area range from older mountain installations to engineered designs from more recent construction, often including pumps and controls that need periodic checking.

Response time

Genesee is roughly thirty five minutes from our Westminster yard, with mountain access adding time in winter.

Plenty of the ground around Genesee sits outside city limits, where the county permits the septic system and the nearest named area is the better landmark. We work these on the same routes.
