Lynnfield systems & permits
Lynnfield is a septic town. The town's own planning document states that almost every Lynnfield residence has a private septic system, with the few exceptions being residences and businesses near the Lynn, Saugus and Wakefield borders that have sewer tie-ins with those communities. That makes Title 5 the governing framework for most drain and sewer work here: the Board of Health requires a permit before any cesspool, septic tank or other means of sewage disposal is constructed or installed, requires connection to a public sewer where one is accessible, and sets septic tank capacity at 150% of estimated average daily flow with a floor of 1,000 gallons. With 63% of the town's housing built between 1940 and 1979, most drain work in Lynnfield is happening on a private system rather than a municipal one.

Almost every Lynnfield residence has a private septic system for household waste disposal; the few exceptions are residents and businesses located near Lynnfield's borders with Lynn, Saugus and Wakefield that have sewer tie-ins with those communities (Town of Lynnfield planning document, 2006).
No cesspool, septic tank or other means of sewage disposal may be constructed or installed in Lynnfield until a permit has been obtained from the Board of Health. Owners of existing buildings from which a public sewer is accessible must connect within a timeframe satisfactory to the Board of Health. No building permit for a dwelling may issue on an unsewered street until a sewage disposal installation permit has been obtained.
A septic tank in Lynnfield must have an effective liquid capacity of 150% of estimated average daily sewage flow, and in no case less than 1,000 gallons; tanks over 20,000 gallons require specific Board of Health approval.
The town's planning document notes that Lynnfield soils, dominated by the Paxton complex in central Lynnfield, have limitations of substratum firmness and wetness that affect their suitability for septic systems and foundations, and that septic systems require larger lot sizes to accommodate leaching fields.
