LAS VEGAS (KTNV) — Proposed changes to septic tank regulations will not be decided upon until next year, the Southern Nevada Health District announced Thursday.

Last week, SNHD put forth proposals to remove permanent septic tank permits and replace them with five-year permits instead. The change would cost homeowners $226 for each instance and require inspections.

The proposal sparked a slew of concerns over cost and communication from local homeowners that we spoke to. On Thursday, we received emails from at least 45 homeowners saying they were against the proposed regulations.

Currently, locals can submit their public comments on the health district's website . That was set to expire on Friday but the health district told Channel 13 that "the public comment period remains open."
