Council debates draft septic ordinance that would shift inspections and require advanced systems

Jun 9, 2026

Council reviewed a detailed draft septic ordinance that would move personal septic inspections and enhanced-system approvals from Lincoln County to the town, add contractor registration and certification requirements, and require engineered systems in some locations. Staff will refine code placement and certification language before next meeting.

Staff explained the draft would place detailed septic requirements under the town's code, require registration and qualifications for septic contractors, and position the town to require engineered or advanced systems in geologically sensitive locations.
