Summary

An on-site sewage systems ordinance that would set minimum standards for residential and commercial systems was presented to commissioners Nov. 6; the county attorney recommended tabling final action to allow review and it will be posted for public view before a Dec. 3 vote.

Chris Boling of the Health Board presented an ordinance aimed at establishing minimum standards "for the prevention and suppression of disease and health risks associated with the use of on-site sewage systems," saying it would regulate location, installation, maintenance, replacement, alteration, and repair of residential and commercial sewage systems.

Attorney April Geltmaker advised commissioners to delay a decision to allow time for review. Commissioners later agreed to post the ordinance on the county website for public review and scheduled a vote for the Dec. 3, 2024 meeting.
