The Teton County Board of County Commissioners voted unanimously on Nov. 4 to renew its contract with SOS Systems (SepOS) for a septic permitting and management software platform in the amount of $90,000.
Amy Ramage, the county engineer, said the platform provides a more objective and data-driven way to review septic permit applications and stores application data and analytics that would otherwise be lost in plan sets. "It's a completely new platform where applicants are entering data into software in order to collect that and really give us long term a lot of analytics that are otherwise lost," Ramage said.
Ramage and SOS Systems representatives told commissioners the system is built to accommodate upcoming regulatory updates anticipated as part of the county’s water-quality management plan. The platform can be modified to send reminders for required maintenance and to import records from third-party service providers, staff said, which could support voluntary documentation of maintenance before formal regulations are adopted.
Commissioners asked how the platform would interface with potential changes to small-wastewater facility regulations and whether voluntary records from service providers could be captured; Ramage said the county would work with the vendor and local providers to import or otherwise incorporate historic records if appropriate.
Commissioner Carman moved to renew the contract, Commissioner Macker seconded, and the motion carried unanimously.
