Water and Wastwater Programm Pages
The City of Valdez and the Department of Environmental Conservation announced
today that the state has delegated full responsibility to the City for approval
of conventional and alternate domestic wastewater systems serving single family
homes and duplexes. The delegation also includes conventional systems serving a
single commercial building that generated no more than 500 gallons of domestic
wastewater per day.
Dave Dengel, the City Manager said, "Having this authority means a lot
for the future development of the City. Domestic wastewater systems are an
integral part of the overall development of the community, and it’s important
we have control over them."
Janice Adair, the Director of Environmental Health for the DEC said, "We’ve
been discussing this with the City for quite a while and are really pleased to
see our joint efforts come to fruition."
The State will still approve extension of sewer main lines as well as run the
certified installer program.
