The time to act is now

Rural California is about to be over regulated by an over reaching government agency. AB885 was a well intentioned law that is resulting in the proposal of some very poor and expensive implementation. Even in counties where there is no evidence of contamination and records show only a 0.2% failure rate of septic systems all the septic systems would have to be inspected at the estimated rate of $325.00 per inspection and if you have a domestic well on that property add a well inspection every five years also and another $325.00 charge. Those are just the inspection fees. You can read about the details here at the California State Water Resources Control Board site. We have a very short time to act before these "Fatally Flawed" regulations are implemented. It is time for immediate action, contact the state water board.
