Additional News re King County Proposed Septic System Ordinance Changes!

The King County Department of Health has "pushed back" presenting its code changes to the King County Board of Health.  CAPR has had concerns and complaints about both the proposed code and the process of OSS Ordinance changes that have provided a rocky road for citizens seeking to remain involved with a clear understanding of what is proposed. That being said, the comments below outlining our concerns with the Ordinance or code remain valid and still need to be presented to the county!
