The commissioner of the Department for Public Health shall, upon written request from a local board of health, authorize the local board of health to serve as its agent to issue permits for on-site sewage disposal systems as described in KRS § 211.350 within that area of local board jurisdiction. As agent, the authorized local board of health shall act for the cabinet in issuing permits and granting variances for on-site sewage disposal systems. Actions by the local board of health shall comply with the regulations established by the cabinet relating to on-site sewage disposal systems. The local board of health shall include in the written request a procedure for administering this section. The local board of health may adopt regulations relating to the proper operation and maintenance of on- site sewage disposal systems. In counties containing a city of the first class or a consolidated local government and in urban-counties, the local board of health may adopt regulations relating to the proper construction, installation, and alteration of on-site sewage disposal systems which are more stringent than the regulations adopted by the cabinet.
