Action:
Amend Sewage Collection and Treatment Regulations to include a reporting requirement for all septic systems taken off-line and connected to sewage collection systems
General Information
| Action Summary |
The intent of this regulatory action is to require reporting by wastewater utilities of all septic systems (or other on-site sewage disposal systems) taken off-line and connected to sewage collection systems. The goal of this new regulatory requirement is to ensure a more accurate count of nutrient reductions resulting from septic systems connected to sewer, which will assist with tracking the Commonwealth’s progress towards water quality goals, including Chesapeake Bay watershed restoration goals.
