Last year, DAAR helped raise public awareness in opposing the ban on alternative septic systems imposed by the Loudoun County Board of Supervisors. In 2009, DAAR worked to reverse the ban by helping to move forward legislation (Senate Bill 1276 / House Bill 1788) to clarify that the Code of Virginia allows local governments to regulate alternative septic systems but does not give them authority to ban these systems. The legislation nullifies the recent ban on alternative septic systems imposed by Loudoun County once the State Department of Health promulgates regulations on these systems by March 1, 2010.
