SEWERAGE: Authorizes a person to install an individual sewer treatment system in certain circumstances

HB 235 allows property owners to install and operate their own individual sewage treatment systems on their land without being required to connect to a municipal sewer system, unless the municipal system is owned by a city, parish, or local government. This directly affects homeowners and property owners in areas without accessible municipal sewer service, particularly in rural or unincorporated regions. The bill defines an "individual sewerage system" as one treating sewage on the property where it originates, contrasting with a "community system" serving multiple properties. It removes the obligation to connect to public infrastructure when individual systems are feasible, providing more local control over wastewater management. The law takes effect upon the governor’s signature or after the legislative session if not vetoed.
