Failing septic tanks pose health and cost concerns in Overland Park, Kansas

Aging Overland Park, Kansas septic tanks are posing a public heath concern and will be a major expense at some point for homeowners.

City of Overland Park, Kansas officials have begun discussing the situation and how they might deal with it as the tanks inevitably give out.
Leakage from failing tanks would create obvious sanitation concerns that would need to be addressed. But the city is trying to be sensitive to residents who face considerable cost when they need to remedy the problem.

Overland Park City Codes Administrator Tim Ryan told members of the City Council’s Community Development Committee that the city has not been enforcing an ordinance that requires septic tank owners to hook to the sanitary sewer system when it becomes available in their neighborhood.
