Keep septic regulations in place in Kalkaska County
To whom it may concern, I am writhing you today to implore the Board of Commissioners, which consists of representatives from Crawford, Kalkaska, Lake, Manistee, Mason, Mecosta, Missaukee, Newaygo, Oceana, and Wexford county, to keep drinking water protections in place, and reject the proposal to repeal the Kalkaska Point of Sale septic inspection ordinance. Michigan is the only state in the nation that does not have a statewide septic code that would require the periodic testing and inspections of septic systems. Only 11 counties in Michigan currently exercise some oversight of septics, including Kalkaska. Kalkaska county has a Point of Sale ordinance for their septic systems, and because of this ordinance, residents of Kalkaska are less vulnerable to human waste loaded with pathogens like E.coli entering into their drinking water. Unfortunately, the Kalkaska County Board of Health recently voted to repeal the Point of Sale septic program. As a resident of one of these 10 counties, I am asking the Board of Commissions to keep this ordinance in place and reject this repeal. Since Michigan does not have a statewide septic code, we must keep the few existing regulations on septics in place to protect the health and safety of Michiganders. This regulation is an important step in making sure the residents of Michigan are protected from dangerous water contamination. We will not be able to fix what we are not looking for, which is why it is imperative that the Board of Commissioners keeps the Kalkaska Point of Sale septic inspection in place.
