Public Meeting on Proposed Changes to King County Septic Code

Read and comment on draft codes

Based on technical and legal analysis, equity review, feedback from our customers and partners, and public input, we have drafted revised codes. Now, you can read and comment on the revised codes. We will then review and consider any additional public feedback before making final language and submitting the proposed revisions to the King County Board of Health in November.
