Folks: I own an environmental consulting company and I can tell you from experience that unfortunatley it is sometimes cheaper for a municipality to pay fines than fix the problem, at least in the short run. I can tell you from living in Atlanta that it would take a lot to make the problem as bad as it is here (the city was paying $25K per day in fines because it was cheaper than fixing the problem). Most of the domestic sewage treatment systems are 25-30 years old and were never designed to manage the current loading (no pun intended....well, maybe a little pun was intended). Upgrading these systems is very costly and with all the administrative requirements that ADEM puts on the permitting process it will probably take a while to fix. Wish there were a silver bullet but very few communities have been at all proactive in planning for and arranging adequate funding to solve these problems. Calls and letters to the city, ADEM, the AG's office, shining the light of day in the media, etc. are what will be needed to get a fix started. But it will take time to happen.
