§ 8.41.130. Destruction of abandoned onsite wastewater treatment system.  


Latest version.
  • When a property owner discontinues the use of an onsite wastewater treatment system by connecting to public sewer, when use of the onsite wastewater treatment system is prohibited by the director, or by other actions by the county or state, the onsite wastewater treatment system shall be abandoned, under permit and inspection from the director within thirty days from the date the system or system component is abandoned. As used in this section, abandonment means to "destroy" by having the property owner (1) employ a registered septage pumper/waste hauler to remove the contents from the abandoned septic tank or holding tank, (2) having the top and bottom of the tank perforated, and (3) having the component filled with sand, gravel, or other clean fill material.
