I was dissappointed to see that home owners were not considered in the final regulations.  Virginia home owners have always been allowed to maintain their residences themselves.  This is the first component in the typical rural residence that the home owner will not be allowed to maintain. 

Home owners should be able to maintain their systems and report the result to VDH in the same manner as operators.  They could even be required to pass the same DPOR test as licensed operators to ensure they were qualified to maintain their systems.

Thank you for your consideration,
