Water and Rural Living: What Idaho Homeowners Need to Know
)
This guide provides practical and legal information for Idaho homeowners, home buyers, and realtors about rural residences and water-permitting processes. Along with explaining the basics about how rural residents can set up a septic system or access drinking water safely, it explains how land-use issues (particularly living on or near a wetland, lake, river, or floodplain) affect site design by requiring building/land-use permits. Helpful contact information for each scenario (consolidated in a directory) points you to the proper government agency for water-related questions, permits, or programs.
