This chapter shall not apply to discharge of ordinary sanitary wastewater into a septic system installed in accordance with applicable state and local regulations or to ordinary uses of household or garden products used in accordance with applicable labeling instructions from state and federal law. Nothing in this chapter prohibits the Board of Health from limiting or prohibiting the use of any such product by appropriate regulations.
