FOB: Sen Constantine's Water Bill includes septic tank inspections and grant program for repairs

[mary rawl]

Septic tank inspections approved. Included in Sen. Lee Constantine's (R-Altamonte Springs) big water clean-up bill,SB 550, is a provision that requires inspection of Florida's 2.6 million septic tanks every five years beginning in 2011. The Florida Department of Health, which regulates septic tanks, will inspect about 500,000 tanks a year. Property owners are responsible for the inspection fee, which cannot exceed $30. The legislation also creates a grant program for low-income homeowners whose septic tanks need repairs.
