SEC. 41-67-11. Temporary disposal systems; requirements for approval [Repealed effective July 1, 2005].
(1) Temporary individual on-site wastewater disposal systems may be approved in otherwise unapprovable areas only after a contract has been awarded for the construction of municipal or community sewers that upon completion will adequately serve the property. Temporary individual on-site wastewater disposal systems shall only be approved under the following conditions:
(a) When the municipal or community sewers shall not be completed and available for use within six (6) months, a complete individual on-site wastewater disposal system complying with all requirements of the board may be installed. Upon completion of the sewer construction all systems shall be abandoned and all residences, buildings or facilities connected to the sewer.
(b) When the public sewers shall be available and ready for use within a period not to exceed six (6) months, or where a minor extension is to be made to a municipal system by the municipality and no contract is to be awarded, an individual on-site wastewater disposal system with a minimum capacity of three hundred (300) gallons and at least sixty percent (60%) of the required disposal field may be installed. The board shall not approve a temporary system under this subsection unless the professional engineer designing the sewer system has certified to the board in writing that the public sewer or extension shall be completed within six (6) months, and the owner of the temporary system has certified in writing that connection to the public sewer shall be made as soon as it becomes available.
(2) The board may approve the installation of sewage holding tanks in districts created under Sections 19-5-151 through 19-5-207 for the purpose of providing sewage services. The district shall be required to maintain or provide for the maintenance of those holding tanks. The board shall require that residences be connected to a municipal or community sewage system when that system is available and ready to use.
