Commission updates county on-site wastewater rules for rural properties
Summary
The commission passed Ordinance 26-03 to amend county code Chapter 700 governing on-site wastewater systems, with Codes and Zoning staff saying the changes expand homeowner options and reflect installer input.
The Cass County Commission approved Ordinance 26-03, an amendment to county code Chapter 700 addressing on-site wastewater treatment systems for rural residential properties. Valerie Ballard of the Codes and Zoning Department told commissioners the ordinance reflects input from local installers and is intended to be a "living document" that adapts as issues arise; she said the updates open up more options for homeowners to manage wastewater systems.
Ballard said the county reviewed prior ordinances and convened a meeting with several installers to collect feedback, and the item was presented as a consolidated synopsis of those recommendations. The ordinance was moved, seconded and passed with a recorded vote of two in favor and zero opposed.
