Wastewater & Septic
Explore source documents and the questions residents are raising about decentralized wastewater systems.
Questions residents are asking
The committee has identified questions to investigate:
- Who owns and operates the systems?
- Who pays for maintenance, repairs, and eventual replacement?
- Which homes are connected, and what responsibilities apply?
- How do development agreements relate to future sewer connections and HOA transition?
These are questions for follow-up. This site does not determine responsibility or establish an effect on the transition threshold.
