To address the concerns of local health officers seeking specific guidance regarding their role in regulating on-site wastewater disposal systems (OSDS), the NH Office of Energy and Planning (OEP) has developed a model health ordinance which can be adapted to local needs. The model ordinance addresses local review of applications to construct OSDS, local inspection of systems, operation and maintenance, and enforcement procedures for violations. For more information call OSP at 271-2155.
