Kane County adopts resolution backing septic systems for water‑hauling subdivisions
Summary
Kane County adopted Resolution R 2026-2 Jan. 13 to express the county's support for allowing septic systems in subdivisions that haul water, citing concern over a Five County Southwest Utah Public Health Board sub-regulation that would bar septic where water access exceeds 180 days per year. The commission added Grand County to the recitals and approved the resolution unanimously.
At its Jan. 13 meeting, the Kane County Commission adopted Resolution No. R 2026-2 to formally express support for using septic systems in subdivisions that haul water when local regulation permits such systems. Commissioner Celeste Meyeres explained the action grew from a concern about a "hidden sub regulation" in the Five County Southwest Utah Public Health Board rules that could bar septic systems for lots with water access more than 180 days per year.
Meyeres told the commission she asked the regional board of directors to remove the sub-regulation and noted that the board would take another look at the issue on Jan. 28. She asked to add Grand County to the recitals listing other counties that allow septic systems; the motion to adopt the resolution with that change was approved unanimously.
The resolution expresses the county's policy preference and is meant to inform the county's position in upcoming regional public‑health discussions; the minutes do not record legal text beyond the county's statement of support.
