§1281.25. Installation and maintenance of individual aerobic sewage treatment systems by homeowners; waiver of fees
A. A homeowner who wishes to perform the installation of an individual aerobic sewage treatment system in his own home himself may do so only after satisfying any installation education requirements, certification or licensure requirements, or any other requirements under rules and regulations promulgated by the Louisiana Department of Health on that subject. However, if a homeowner does so wish to become certified to safely install an individual aerobic sewage treatment system in his own home, the department shall waive any and all fees usually charged commercial installers of such systems.
B. A homeowner who wishes to perform maintenance of his own individual aerobic sewage treatment system which services his home, after completing the department's homeowner maintenance certification program and license requirements, shall be exempt from the requirement of obtaining an endorsement from the manufacturer for the brand of plant the homeowner wishes to maintain. However, nothing in this Section shall be construed to exempt the homeowner from the requirement to install appropriate, approved replacement components when such are required to maintain the performance of the system. A homeowner who maintains his own aerobic sewage treatment system shall be responsible for the system's proper operation.
