Onsite Wastewater Installation Assessment for Years 2015 through 2018
Phase 1 (2015)
Phase 2 (2016 - 2018)
The national OSUR in 2015 is the most reliable OSUR value with a 82% local agency response rate and 63 % of total new housing permits included in OSUR calculation. The national OSUR in 2015 is calculated to be 30%. The decrease in local agency response (45%) and new total housing (45%) for 2016 – 2018 fluctuates the adjusted national OSUR steadily around 29 – 32%.
