Salisbury is a split sewer-and-septic town, and the split is not closing soon. Where municipal sewer exists, the Wastewater Division handles hookups itself: a $500 access fee per EQR, work by a contractor from the town's approved list, mandatory abandonment of the old septic system, and a town inspection with an as-built drawing on file. Where sewer does not reach, homes stay on septic under Title 5 — and in 2018 a $26 million article to extend sewer to Lafayette Road, Main Street and several side streets was defeated at Annual Town Meeting after the town failed to secure grants.

The Wastewater Department publishes and maintains lists of Approved Drain Layers, Approved Septic Installers and Approved Septage Haulers.
A proposed $26 million project to bring new sewer service to Lafayette Road, Main Street and several side streets was presented in 2018; the town failed to secure subsidising grants and the bonding warrant article was defeated at the 2018 Annual Town Meeting.
MassDEP Title 5 (310 CMR 15.301) requires a septic system inspection at, or within two years before, transfer of title, with narrow exclusions including a recent certificate of compliance, certain inter-family transfers, and a binding agreement to upgrade or connect to sewer within two years.
On a backup call, Salisbury plant personnel check the main line first; if the problem is found to be within the resident's own plumbing or piping they alert the homeowner and suggest contacting a local plumbing contractor. The town's own CCR also asks residents to practise good septic maintenance to protect the drinking-water wells, two of which MassDEP ranks HIGH susceptibility.
