Chapter 5 — 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 Yucaipa, 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 a Local Agency Management Program (LAMP) for OWTS permitting and regulation throughout the City, and that program has been approved by the California Regional Water Quality Control Board for the Santa Ana Region. (Added by Ord. 379 § 1, 2019)
