Purpose: This rule making repeals chapter 246-271 WAC, Public sewage, as it is outdated and duplicative with department of ecology (ecology) and other public health statutes and rules.

As a result, the requirements of chapter 246-271 WAC do not reflect the most current and appropriate regulation of public sewage.
