2. The property owner of an owner-occupied, single-family 565

Inspection Fund Advisory Board · 2026-05-05 · agenda_item

This item concerns a proposed change to how certain aerobic treatment unit systems are maintained. Currently, property owners of owner-occupied, single-family residences may be approved as maintenance entities for their own aerobic treatment unit systems. This requires written certification from the system manufacturer's approved representative that the owner has received training on proper installation and service. The proposed change would clarify that property owners have the right to maintain their own systems and are exempt from contractor registration for performing construction, maintenance, or repairs on these systems, though they must still follow all permitting requirements. This matter is currently under review by the Inspection Fund Advisory Board. If approved, this could lead to opportunities for training providers, manufacturers' representatives, and potentially suppliers of aerobic treatment unit systems and related maintenance equipment. Early engagement with the board and relevant departments could provide insight into specific training needs and system requirements.
