Creating appeal procedures for single-family homeowners with failing septic systems required to connect to public sewer systems.

Summary

  • Requires that qualifying counties, cities, and towns have an administrative appeals process for requests from owners of single-family residences to repair or replace a failing on-site septic system that were denied because of a requirement mandating connection to a public sewer system.
  • Specifies that the jurisdictions required to have the appeals process are those that adopt or have adopted an ordinance or resolution requiring connection to a public sewer system upon the failure of an on-site septic system.
