IMPORTANT UPDATE: Cesspool Phase-Out Extensions
Click here to see information about extended cesspool phase-out deadlines.
Rhode Island Cesspool Act of 2007
This is an important issue. If you have an old cesspool or failing septic system, you should be aware of this.
Legislation Rep. Frank Ferri submitted was passed by the House on Tuesday to extend the cesspool deadline from 2013 to 2014 for cesspools within the 200' boundary covered by the 2007 cesspool phaseout act. For those who are in the boundary but have no idea when sewers are coming the deadline for the city to act is pushed out to 2020. The city however must inform DEM of their intentions by 2014. The legislation is statewide, not just for Warwick. For more information, please refer to the Warwick Beacon Online.
If your home has a cesspool or you know someone else who does, it is particularly important for you to be familar with the January 2013 deadline approaching. Not all property owners are subject to the requirements, but many in the Riverview neighborhood are. Thank you Grayce for providing the FAQ document!
