The Southern Nevada Health District is at it again

February 17, 2026 by Mesa Valleys Progress 1 Comment

They are proposing dramatic new requirements for Septic systems. Septic systems naturally add Nitrogen to the soil.

If the SNHD determines that nitrogen levels are too high, they are proposing to have the ability to require homeowners to replace their septic tanks with an expensive Nitrogen reducing system.

Of course, the massive expense will be paid for by the homeowner.

The SNHD will require testing each 3 months of the first year after installation, and yearly inspections after that, of course, paid for by the home owner.

This should concern any homeowner with a septic system. To contest these draconian requirements, residents should contact their County Commissioner, and also attend the public hearing

    You’re looking at costs from $10,000 to $30,000 and that may just be for the system. additional costs include design, permitting, excavation, and specialized components such as aeration units or filtration systems. If they want these units put in our homes give us a subsidy of 75% for the upgrade cost. $50,000 X 75% = $37,500.
