Summary
Council member Matt Carlucci asked the TEU Committee to request a briefing from JEA and public works on how many new-construction homes are being permitted with septic tanks, their proximity to sewer lines, and whether connections are being made.
Council member Matt Carlucci used the committee's final discussion time on Feb. 18 to ask staff for a briefing on septic-tank permitting and sewer access. Carlucci said he was curious "how many of our new construction homes were being permitted with septic tanks," whether those sites are close enough to sewer lines for connection, and why some areas are not being connected where sewer is available.
The chair agreed to request a combined update from JEA (the city's utility) and public works and said he would coordinate with staff leadership (he referenced Mister Hill) to schedule the briefing for a future meeting. Carlucci said the information would help the committee understand remediation priorities for failing septic systems and whether development is installing septic where sewer connections would be feasible.
What happens next: The chair said he will work with staff to arrange the requested briefing from JEA and public works; no immediate policy or funding action was taken at this meeting.
