Mandatory Wastewater Connection Policy
Purpose
To establish a Mandatory Wastewater Connection Policy.
Policy
The Board of County Commissioners approves and adopt a policy to identify and notify owners of existing properties served by an on-site sewage treatment and disposal system (septic tanks), or a private wastewater treatment facility, of the requirements for mandatory connection of those properties to the County wastewater system (see attachment).
Where the March 18, 1992 Board of County Commissioners approved Recommendations for the Disposition of the South County Wastewater Collection System are less restrictive than this policy, that document shall take precedence until its expiration on April 1, 1997. Where the aforementioned Recommendations are more restrictive, this policy shall take precedence. This policy shall be applied on a prospective, not a retroactive basis.
Responsibilities
It is the responsibility of the Public Utilities Department to put into effect the policy of the Board of County Commissioners and to establish and execute Department policies and procedures for mandatory wastewater connections.
Enforcement
The enforcement of requirements established by this policy will be in accordance with Section 1.9, Hillsborough County Ordinance 92-11, as amended.
