Immediate ban on new cesspools in Puna?
#27
Excellent point - it's not logical to have $10k septic tank that is only needed for a few flushes per day. bath and dish water don't need septic processing - could almost be filtered back to catchment. (give me a green star.)

We know the names of lawmakers that opposed it - that now might seek such an exception - they signed the letter in this article:

A key point in legislators' letter is that in catchment areas without wells there is no immediate "groundwater" being impacted.
