HB 2527: On-site sewage systems

Ensuring the ongoing viability of safe on-site sewage systems as a component of statewide sewage management through the implementation of on-site program management plans.

Summary

  • Provides the authority for the Department of Health (DOH) to capitalize and administer a low-interest loan program to assist homeowners with the repair and replacement of on-site sewage systems.
  • Requires the local health jurisdictions in the 12 counties bordering Puget Sound that were required to develop written on-site program management plans in 2007 to submit updated versions of those plans for approval by the DOH, with some exceptions, at least once every five years.
  • Specifically requests that the DOH consider how a county will fund its on-site program management plan before giving approval.
  • Creates a definition of an unsafe septic system.
