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.
