Amend law to allow temporary sewage holding tanks for properties lacking sewer access
In Plain English
City code currently regulates onsite wastewater treatment systems under Chapter 12.19, but lacks standards for temporary sewage holding tanks. This change creates construction standards and a permit process for properties that cannot connect to the city sewer system. It mainly affects property owners facing sewer connection barriers, giving them a legal path to manage wastewater in the meantime. The council first considered this item on June 16, 2026.
