Wayne County holds first reading of ordinance amendment requiring Sanitarian approval for septic systems
Summary
At its Aug. 5 meeting the board gave a first reading to an amendment to Ordinance No. 204 requiring the Wayne County Sanitarian to determine approved system types and designating cement tanks as the preferred septic tank type, with approval required before construction.
The Wayne County Board of Supervisors gave the first reading Aug. 5 to an amendment to Ordinance No. 204 that would change permit procedures for on-site wastewater systems. Chair Chris Moore read proposed language that would require the Wayne County Sanitarian to determine and approve the types of systems and septic tanks before construction begins; the amendment states the first preference for septic tanks is cement.
Supervisor Lance Lange moved to accept and approve the first reading, and Supervisor Todd Wilson seconded the motion; the board approved the first reading as recorded in the minutes. The minutes direct residents to the auditor's office for the full ordinance text and amendment details (auditor hours listed as 8 a.m.–4 p.m., Monday–Friday).
The action recorded in the minutes is a first reading only; the minutes do not show a second reading, final adoption, or effective date for the amendment. Any technical specifications, enforcement timeline, or fee changes tied to the amendment were not included in the meeting record.
