Board of Health adopts updated OWTS regulations after public comments and a minor edit
Summary
At a June 9, 2026 Board of Health hearing, staff presented proposed onsite wastewater treatment system regulations; after public comment, the board approved the regulations with an edit changing a 'Y joint' to a 'T joint', vote 2-0.
The Park County Board of Health adopted updated onsite wastewater treatment system (OWTS) regulations at its June 9 meeting after a public hearing and brief public comment. Sarah Larimore presented the proposed regulations. Public commenters Tim Galvin, Jennifer Miglarado and Greg Johnson spoke during the hearing; the board closed public comments and approved the regulations with one specific textual edit (changing a "Y joint" to a "T joint"). Commissioner Gemmer moved to close public comments and later moved to approve the regulations with the edit; Interim Chairperson Amy Mitchell seconded both motions and votes recorded were 2-0.
The meeting minutes reference draft and consolidated regulation documents but do not record detailed discussion of substantive policy changes beyond the change to the joint notation. The minutes do not state an effective date for the amended rules or further implementation instructions; staff follow-up would be needed to confirm administrative steps.
