Sewer connections outside the Growth Zone for previously skipped lots
Summary
Some property owners next to county sewer lines built during past septic-elimination projects were never offered a hookup — either they declined or their lot was vacant at the time. Ordinance LC26-16 would let them petition to connect, under strict conditions. It matters if you own one of those lots or live near sewer extensions outside the Growth Zone.
