Redlands Municipal Code Ch. 8.38 Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems

The purpose of this chapter is to establish standards for the approval, installation, and operation of onsite wastewater treatment systems (OWTS) within the City of Redlands, consistent with the appropriate California Regional Water Quality Control Board (RWQCB) standards and basin plans. The standards are adopted to prevent the creation of health hazards and nuisance conditions and to protect surface and groundwater quality. The city has prepared and adopted by resolution a Local Agency Management Program (LAMP) for OWTS permitting and regulation throughout the city, and that program has been approved by the California RWQCB for the Santa Ana Region. (Ord. 2909, 6-16-2020)

Any OWTS must be designed and operated in compliance with the provisions of the current verison of the city’s adopted LAMP resolution, as approved by the RWQCB. (Ord. 2909, 6-16-2020)

A fee as established by resolution of the city council shall be paid upon filing an application for review of the design of an OTWS, for inspection of the construction of a new OTWS, and for oversight of the design review for an OTWS permitted through the RWQCB. (Ord. 2909, 6-16-2020)
