About
The most reliable and cost effective means of disposing of domestic sewage is an adequate public sewer system. It is the policy of the Weld County Board of Health and the Weld County Board of County Commissioners to require the use of public sewer systems where and whenever feasible, and to limit the installation of individual sewage disposal systems (I.S.D.S.) to areas that are not feasible for public sewers. Because many areas of Weld County are too sparsely populated to be economically served by public sewers, individual sewage disposal systems have become the common method of domestic sewage disposal. In order to preserve the environment and protect the public health, the Weld County Board of Health and the Weld County Board of County Commissioners have adopted regulations setting minimum standards for the design and construction of individual sewage disposal systems.
