Letter To The Editor: Septic Tanks On Lake?

I thought you should know the Rich County P&Z just passed pre-approval plat for 36 homes on the lake shore WITH SEPTIC TANKS. Yes, 36 septic tanks on the lakeshore.

I think the public needs to know this- Idaho doesn't allow anything within a mile of the lakeshore to have a septic tank. It is my belief Rich County needs to endorse the same requirement. All of the south shore is on sewer, Garden City is on sewer, why is the county allowing this subdivision septic? Money?

The Department of Environmental Quality is not happy about this either- they don't want to see the "jewel of Utah" compromised by that many septics.

Let me know if you have any questions.
