LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — The Southern Nevada Health District is looking at dropping proposed changes to septic system regulations.
On Thursday, health district officials announced they will hold a special meeting next week to consider and approve a recommendation to withdraw the proposed Individual Sewage Disposal System (ISDS) regulation updates "following recent public feedback."

If the Board of Health approves that recommendation, the current regulations will remain in place. If the recommendation is not withdrawn, a health district spokesperson said they will continue the outreach process with additional meetings and outreach sessions that would be scheduled "to meet the needs of stakeholders".
Health District officials also emphasized that there will be no vote to adopt or finalize any of the proposed updates or new regulations at this meeting.
Homeowners from across Clark County have voiced their opposition to the proposed changes, which included switching lifetime septic permits to every five years, including an inspection, which, if you fail, you'd have to connect to sewer on your own dime.
