On-site sewage public hearing schedule
Montague County commissioners will conduct a public hearing at 8:30 a.m. on Aug. 11 to discuss adoption of proposed rules related to on-site sewage facilities within the county.
The public is invited to attend and also to submit written comments. The order can be seen on the county website at co.montague.tx.us or in the judge’s office.
Charley Lanier, subdivision coordinator, told the court this was a waiver they had been working on through the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality since the subdivision regulations were approved back in May 2024. Under this new rule all platted or created subdivisions of single-family dwellings using individual on-site septic facilities for sewage disposal shall have lots of at least two acres.
It is hoped this will clarify questions about an on-site septic and a public water supply which provides the water to a property.
