STOP PRESS: A SAFER NAVARRE!
Just got word that the Department of Transportation has officially approved the Fire Department's request to install the Opticom system on Hwy 98.
Opticom is a traffic control system that provides a green light - and therefore intersection right-of-way - to emergency vehicles, meaning that they can get to your emergency quicker and most importantly, in the safest way possible. Kudos to Fire Commissioner and NABOR Realtor® Lauretta Aiken for all her efforts on this important community initiative!
NEW FLORIDA WEB PAGE EXPLAINS SEPTIC TANK LAW
The Florida Department of Health (DOH) unveiled a new website designed to help Floridians and local governments understand new septic tank requirements outlined in House Bill 1263, which the Florida Legislature passed earlier this year. Florida Realtors backed the change, which eases a mandatory septic tank inspection.
The new law gives local governments flexibility, though that means septic tank laws can change from county-to-county. To help Floridians and local governments understand the new rules, the DOH developed an informational webpage with information on services and how the law may impact their areas.
For more information, visit the Florida Department of Health webpage or call your county or city commission, or local county health department.
