§ 19.07.024. Community sewage disposal systems.

Community sewage disposal systems may be reviewed and approved by the county health and engineering departments only when a proposed system is designed and constructed as follows, and is approved by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board.

(1)

Public Agency Operation Required. Sewerage facilities shall be operated by a public agency unless the county engineer or the regional water quality control board finds that an existing agency is unavailable and formation of a new agency is unreasonable. If such finding is made, a private entity shall be established with adequate financial, legal and institutional resources to assume responsibility for waste discharges.

(2)

Minimum Number of Users Served. A community sewage disposal system may be approved only where at least 50 dwelling units will be served by the proposed system, unless fewer hookups are authorized by the county engineer.

(3)

Disposal System Design and Performance. Community sewage disposal systems shall be designed and shall discharge effluent of a quality pursuant to the provisions of the "Water Quality Control Plan, Central Coastal Basin", adopted by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board.
