I know there is at least one person paying attention.
1/21/11:
As you know, the Florida Legislature passed SB 550 in 2010 requiring mandatory septic tank inspections every five years. The Florida Department of Health (DOH) estimated that inspections would cost $150 to $200 each with replacement costs for failing systems estimated at $5,000 to $7,000. DOH estimated that 10 percent of Florida's 2.6 million septic tanks are failing.
Senate Bill 2A was passed by the Legislature on Nov. 16 which would delay implementation from January 1 to July 1, 2011. The bill went to Gov. Rick Scott’s desk this month; it went into effect on Wednesday, January 19.
Several bills have already been filed for 2011 that would modify this inspection requirement.

Arlene Smith
