§4.11. Community-type sewage systems and public water systems; permits
A. The state health officer shall issue his determination of approval or disapproval of a permit for construction of a public water system, including a community water system, or a community-type sewage system within sixty days after receipt of the initial submission to the office of public health of plans and specifications for which a permit is requested pursuant to the state sanitary code.
B. If the office of public health fails to take action to approve or disapprove a plan within seventy-five days after initial submission of the plans and specifications for which approval is sought, then any interested party may bring an action for mandamus against the state health officer or appropriate office of public health, and such officer or office shall be responsible for all costs of court and reasonable attorney fees incurred in the prosecution of such action. Nothing in this Section shall prohibit the party seeking the permit and the office of public health from agreeing in writing to an extension of the time limits specified in this Section.
C. The office of public health of the Louisiana Department of Health shall promulgate rules to implement the requirements of this Section, which rules shall include the establishment of time delays, not in conflict with this Section, within which the office of public health must request further information, clarifications, or changes to plans and specifications received from an applicant, as well as the establishment of time delays, not in conflict with this Section, within which an applicant must supplement his plans and specifications pursuant to a request to do so from the office of public health.
D. Nothing in this Section shall be construed to alter any enforcement authority regarding sewage disposal and water supplies otherwise granted to the state health officer pursuant to statute or rule.
