Sec. 33. "Residential on-site sewage system failure" means a residential on-site sewage system that exhibits one (1) or more of the
following:
(1) The on-site sewage system refuses to accept sewage at the rate of design application thereby interfering with the normal use of
residential plumbing fixtures.
(2) Effluent discharge exceeds the absorptive capacity of the soil, resulting in ponding, seepage, or other discharge of the effluent to
the ground surface or to surface waters.
(3) Effluent is discharged from the on-site sewage system causing contamination of a potable water supply, ground water, or surface
waters.
A failed residential on-site sewage system is a health hazard.
