We have an outbuilding that can hold a washing machine and a dryer. There really isn't room in the main cottage for a washer/dryer.

We have a pretty new, state approved septic system.

The question is: can we put the washer/dryer in the outbuilding, if we tie into the main septic system or is this now allowed.

Anyone with any experience doing such a thing?

Thanks and Regards,

Steve

Steve;

I don't have first hand experience but know many island people who do exactly what you are wanting to do. As long as your washer is hard piped into the septic I see no issues. Many people have a separate building for their washer and dryer. At my camp we did just the opposite and moved the washer from the outbuilding to the main camp. We made room by removing a closet.

Good luck!
