Failure to follow state guidelines for wastewater treatment can result in Contaminated Groundwater and Polluted Surface Water. Drinking or Swimming in polluted water can be a serious or even fatal Health Risk. We must all do our part to ensure the following:
- Human Health and Safety
- Safe Drinking Water
- Protect Wildlife and Environment
- Economic Impact of Sewage Contamination
