Admirable, but you'd think the state and the U.S., in general, would want to avoid the embarrassing optics that would bring and just fix the problem themselves.

You have to have a problem to be able to fix it!
I can see the headlines now, state forces a poor family to move due to condemning property.

I know of some in clarke county, they place a trailer on a side of a hill, and just run he sewer pipe into a gulley straight, no tank. some are just too lazy to dig a hole and place a tank.maybe the soil too rocky.


the person that was talking about process sewer on farm land in NYC. They do that in mobile county too. the process is real high in nitrogen so it make a good fertilizer, its been process, its almost drinking water

Alabama is great. Great business city in Birmingham, Universities throughout (Roll Tide ) , Montgomery for the Buckmasters Convention, Huntsville for aerospace, Gulf Shores, the Black Belt for hunting.

For some the glass is ½ full. Let them wallow in negativism , I think Alabama is great.

Last I checked there is no perfect place on earth.

The "processed" waste from sewage plants is sludge. Yes, it is a soil amendment that can build tilth and has some fertilizing value, but unlike chicken litter or cattle manure, the ingredients are unknown. Define "processed." Dug up, dried and sterilized? What about the various drug residues, the household chemicals, industrial chemicals, surface runoff that has made its way from the truck parking lot into the sanitary sewer? What about the prions that are nearly indestructible? Septic tank sludge is benign in comparison, yet restrictions on dumping it more severe.

I know right, Alabama geographical features are far better than over 60 percent of the US. It's not land locked like many other states. No extreme homelessness and has major potential. Living in big cities is not all what's it's crack out to be, especially Atlanta.

sorry, Alabama is paradise compared to most of Mississippi (notwithstanding Ocean Springs and several other smaller coastal towns which are great, but areas around Jackson toward Memphis, ala the Delta are horrible economicall, socially and academically, save perhaps around Oxford)

This is VERY true.
