Septic tanks are dinosaures and should be illegal. Aerated home treatment systems and sprinklers are not much better; the average homeowner is not capable or knowledgable to maintain them, and the "treatment" is suspect. Bossier Parish (think county), Louisiana, is in the process of developing the first parish wide collection and sewerge treatment system in this State. It has not been easy, or cheap, to do; the hardest part was actually getting started. Then getting through the first few years where you can't break even because of all of the debtand required set-aside funds that are required inorder to secure even low interest loans. But, with a little common sense approach at getting by until you get over the financial hump, it can be done! We are the proof.
