Fran Soto of the River Valley Times, wrote an article titled, “Wilton residents face mandatory testing on septic, wells.”

Here is a section of the article:

Wilton residents have been informed that California State legislation passed in 2000 is scheduled to become effective Jan. 1, 2010 and requires that all onsite septic systems, as well as domestic water wells, be inspected and tested every five years.

The program will be administrated by the State Water Resources Control Board, which estimates costs to homeowners will be $325 each for both required tests. Kathie Smith, spokesperson for the State Water Board, said, “The board surveyed throughout the state and came up with a cost average that comes out to about $12 a month.” The first round of testing will need to be completed under the regulation by 2015.

For homeowners whose septic systems are found to impair water quality, the regulations currently require these systems be retrofitted at an approximate cost of $45,000. Homeowners may also be required to file a report of waste discharge with the Regional Water Board, but may be granted a statewide waiver under certain conditions.

According to the State Water Board website at www.swrcb.ca.gov, the timeline for the implementation of the regulations states that revisions to the proposed regulations, statewide waiver and the draft environmental impact report (EIR) will be completed by April.

After another 30-day comment period in August, the legislation will go into effect on the Jan. 1, 2010 date. The website also provides in-depth analysis of the proposed regulations.
