Court considers raising wastewater standard for RV parks, asks for engineering support
Summary
Commissioners discussed whether to set a local gallons‑per‑day standard for RV parks higher than the commonly cited 40 gallons per slot and asked staff to obtain Texas A&M engineering data before drafting any change to subdivision regulations.
Road & Bridge staff and commissioners discussed wastewater design standards for RV parks during the workshop. The staff member said many counties use a 40‑gallon‑per‑day estimate per RV slot but that some counties have raised the figure based on use patterns and engineering evidence; commissioners asked staff to obtain A&M numbers and local engineering verification before recommending a local standard.
"I think right now it's at 40 gallons per day per RV part or RV slot," the Road & Bridge representative said, and commissioners agreed data should guide any change. Staff were directed to gather engineering reports and return with recommended wording and supporting calculations; no change was adopted at the meeting.
