Summary
This bill would direct the Board of Health to establish a pre-certified library of onsite sewage system designs. Onsite sewage systems are wastewater treatment systems installed on individual properties instead of connecting to public sewer lines. Currently, each system design must go through a certification process. The pre-certified library would allow property owners and contractors to use pre-approved designs that have already met health and environmental standards, streamlining the approval process for new systems.
