How does the city plan to manage private onsite wastewater treatment and disposal systems?
The successful long-term use of both conventional and alternative wastewater collection, treatment and disposal systems depends largely on the development of an appropriate management approach. “Management” in this case means carrying out a set of policies and practices related to the permitting and care of wastewater systems to ensure public health and environmental protection in a way that is acceptable locally and in accordance with regulatory requirements. The proper maintenance and care of onsite wastewater systems is essential to their successful long-term operation, and for preventing adverse health or environmental impacts or the development of nuisances.
