Septic System Sewer Connection Enforcement and Fees
Tooele City is evaluating how to handle properties within 300 feet of a sewer line that continue to use septic tanks. The city currently charges a base sewer fee to reserve capacity, but council members are discussing whether a simplified base fee is fairer than adding variable usage charges for non-users.
East Valley Water Rights Study
Tooele City proposed amending city code to lower the required water rights depletion rate for interior residential uses from 100% to 60%, reflecting updated data from the city's water reclamation facility. The commission forwarded a positive recommendation to the City Council.
