17. Individual Sewage Disposal Change Date March 28, 2019 • This chapter has been revised in its entirety. a. Individual Sewage Disposal An individual sewage disposal system must adequately dispose of all domestic wastes in a sanitary manner which will not create a nuisance, or in any way endanger the public health. b. Pit Privies Individual pit privies are acceptable where such facilities are customary and installed in accordance with the recommendations of the local health authority. c. Health Authority Approval On proposed construction cases, or new or existing construction cases where the appraiser notes a problem, or if the area is known to have soil percolation problems, health authority approval of the individual sewage disposal system is required. d. Connection Mandated by a Local Authority If public sewer is available and the local authority mandates connection, connection is required (see Topic 16 of this Chapter).

Operationalizing VA Lenders Handbook (VA Pamphlet 26-7), Chapter 12, Topic 17 — Individual Sewage Disposal
This is verbatim, source-snapshotted regulator text from the Claude for Compliance open corpus. To turn a rule like this into compliance work product: gap-analyze your policies and procedures (P&Ps) against these requirements to surface stale, conflicting, or missing provisions; operationalize any change with a ready-to-run update kit; and produce audit-ready evidence — every step grounded only in the regulator’s own words, never invented.
