Proposed Ordinance Amendment
Wastewater Systems in Source Water Protection Areas
The current code prohibits any part of a septic system in a Zone 1 or 2 of a Source Water Protection Area. A proposed ordinance amendment would allow existing on-site wastewater systems (i.e., septic) located in a Zone 2 of a Source Water Protection Area to be repaired in the event of a failure or be altered or replaced upon approval of a variance from the Bear River Health Department (BRHD). Any proposed wastewater systems would also be allowed under the ordinance amendment so long as no portion of the absorption component of the system is located in Zone 2.
The proposed ordinance amendment can be found here.
A public hearing was held during the 5 March 2026 Planning Commission meeting and the ordinance amendment was recommended for approval to the County Council. The next step is that the ordinance amendment will be presented to the County Council for a final decision. The date of that public hearing will likely be on Tuesday, April 14th. Please check Utah Public Notice or the County's website for upcoming agendas.
