Arizona HB2096 allows counties to access financial assistance for cesspool remediation.
Arizona HB2096 amends state statutes to authorize counties to access financial assistance, including forgivable principal, from the Water Infrastructure Finance Authority of Arizona for remediating or replacing cesspools posing public health or environmental risks. The bill prioritizes remediation in areas of known groundwater vulnerability, near surface waters, or in low-to-moderate income communities. Counties can establish income-based eligibility criteria for owner-occupied properties but must not apply means testing to abandoned or uninhabitable properties.
