Jackson County Enacts Private Sewage Permit Ordinance
Jackson County Health Dept reminds residents to obtain a permit before building or altering private sewage disposal systems. The new ordinance, adopted last November, imposes fines up to 500 dollars per offense and up to 10 days in jail for unpermitted installations. It requires systems to meet health standards and sets fees for advisement and permits. A rural county man was fined two 25 dollar sums in circuit court earlier this month. Health educator David Gobble said the department may use legal force as a last resort to protect public health.
