KTNV — Happy Hump Day, Las Vegas.
We have a busy day ahead.
This morning, the Southern Nevada Health District is set to vote on new septic regulations. It's an issue we've been covering closely over the past six months and have heard from many of you regarding your feelings on the matter.
We are also set to be in court today as "Dances with Wolves" actor Nathan Chasing Horse faces sentencing for his 13 felony charges.
But before we get to all that, we are waking up to some pleasant temperatures, but that means we will see a warm-up as the day continues.

Continuing coverage: Septic regulations go before SNHD for a vote
The Southern Nevada Health District is set to vote this morning on whether to scrap proposed changes to septic regulations.
The original proposal would have replaced lifetime septic permits with five-year renewals and required inspections.
If a homeowner failed that inspection, they could have been forced to connect to a sewer line at their own expense, a cost residents say could top $100,000.
SNHD says the vote comes in response to feedback from the public.
If the board votes to withdraw the proposal, the current regulations stay in place.
Ryan Ketcham has been following this issue closely and spoke to affected residents ahead of today's vote:
