SUMMARY AS PASSED: (all summaries)
Alternative on-site sewage systems. Provides that when sewers or sewerage disposal facilities are not available, a locality shall not prohibit the use of alternative onsite sewage systems that have been approved by the Virginia Department of Health for use in the particular circumstances and conditions, and that localities shall not require maintenance standards and requirements for alternative onsite sewage systems that exceed those allowed under or established by the State Board of Health. This bill provides that the State Health Commissioner shall require, as a precondition to the issuance of an alternative onsite sewage system permit to serve a residential structure, that the property owner record an instrument identifying by reference the applicable maintenance regulations for each component of the system in the land records of the clerk of the court for the jurisdiction where all or part of the site or proposed site of the onsite sewages system is to be located, which shall be transferred with the title to the property upon the sale or transfer of the property that is the subject of the permit.
