City officials will wait until at least June to consider an updated septic ordinance at Lake Auburn. The council voted unanimously Monday to delay the vote after several councilors said they were not comfortable moving ahead without further consideration from the Planning Board, as well as the consultant that issued a report on the lake last year. While officials and city staff have said the updated standards will result in better performing septic systems, some have argued that the changes should be tied to development restrictions, because the new ordinance could allow for some level of increased development.
