House Bill No. by Representative Fontenot introduces new legislation that allows individuals to install and operate their own individual sewerage systems without the obligation to connect to a community sewerage system, unless that system is owned by a city, parish, or other municipality in Louisiana. The bill defines "community sewerage system" as one that serves multiple connections and includes systems for collecting, transporting, and treating sewerage, while "individual sewerage system" refers to systems located on the property where the sewerage originates.

The proposed law aims to provide greater flexibility for property owners regarding sewerage management, particularly in areas where community systems may not be available or practical. The bill will take effect upon the governor's signature or after the designated time for gubernatorial action if not signed.
