The End For Faulty Septic Systems

It is now time for our country cousins to join those of us that pay monthly fees to build and operate central treatment systems that ensures that our waste water meets standards set by the OEPA before running into our fresh water streams and lakes. Clinton County residents that use home septic systems will join Cleremont, Warren, and Greene counties in having their systems inspected periodically as required by new state laws. The former three counties have had inspection rules in place for several years. The Clinton County health department is working on plans to implement the new rules and to find a way to pay for the inspections.
The new rules are welcome to all the residents of Wilmington and folks in Union and Vernon township that use Wilmington's treated water. The source of that raw water comes from the Caesar's Creek reservoir and the more sewage contamination in that source the more chlorine is required for the treatment process.
