What is CT Public Health Code 19-13-B100a?
On August 3, 1998, Section 19-13-B100a of the Public Health Code became effective. This code pertains to Building Conversions/Changes in Use, Building Additions, Garages/Accessory Structures, Swimming Pools, Sewage Disposal Area Preservation on lots which are served by on-site subsurface sewage disposal systems. It replaced Section 19-13-B100 which was somewhat narrower in scope but similar in intent.
The purpose of this code is to require that a site assessment be made on those properties served by on-site sewage disposal facilities in order to ascertain whether further development of the property would jeopardize the ability of that property to properly treat sewage waste due to the fact that a code complying septic system could not be placed on the site. The intent is not to determine the present status of the existing leaching system, but to determine that if or, when the existing system fails a septic system can be installed on the property which will meet the needs of the proposed future use.
