Revise the law governing household sewage treatment systems

Summary

The bill lets the state health director create rules that local boards of health must follow when approving, installing, operating, or altering private sewage treatment systems that are not connected to a municipal sewer. It establishes standards for site and soil evaluation, system design, effluent quality, maintenance, and inspection, and it prefers repairing existing systems when feasible. The goal is to protect public health and water quality.
