701.035. Local regulations and standards, requirements — private right to action not preempted. — Sections 701.025 to 701.059 shall not prohibit the enforcement of ordinances of political subdivisions establishing a system for the regulation and inspection of on-site sewage disposal contractors and a minimum code of standards for design, construction, materials, operation and maintenance of on-site sewage disposal systems, for the transportation and disposal of wastes therefrom and for on-site sewage disposal systems servicing equipment, provided such ordinance establishes a system at least equal to state regulation and inspection.
