Board approves task order to study septic system elimination and homeowner assistance options
Summary
The board approved task order #12 to evaluate the cost and design of a septic system elimination program, including reimbursement options and potential subsidy structures for homeowners.
Staff presented task order #12 to study septic-system elimination options, develop baseline costs across different property configurations, and propose a plan for homeowner application and reimbursement or subsidy. The study will collect contractor estimates, review recent projects and produce recommendations for eligible reimbursement levels and program design.
Board members discussed the complexity of rural properties, variable distances to mains and the potential need for engineering support. Staff described the study as a one-time professional-services task to set program parameters; members approved the task order and the not-to-exceed amount included in the packet.
The decision directs staff to proceed with the evaluation, gather contractor estimates and return with proposed program mechanics and draft outreach materials for board review.
