Who determines the location for the test holes / sewage system?

You should have an idea of where you would like to have the sewage system placed prior to the soil evaluation. However, the Sanitarian or excavating contractor may suggest a different area if the original area selected appears unsuitable. Keep in mind that the Sanitarian's role on the site is to provide expertise and guidance to assist the homeowner or builder in making these decisions.
