A question for everyone interested in Lake Okeechobee, blue-green algae, and "Send The Water South!"

Let's say a community along a waterway in Palm Beach County, it can be a small or large one, decided that the cost of County sewage line maintenance and human waste disposal to a treatment facility was too expensive and will switch to septic tanks instead. There would be outrage from the environmental community, right?

Question: So why isn't the environmental community outraged that so many communities in Martin County are polluting their waterways with feces and urine now?

Shouldn't the cry be to have all that human waste disposed of like most of Palm Beach County does with modern waste disposal technology? Below is J. P. Sasser's thoughts on this subject. He is the former mayor of Pahokee. From his public comment given at the Treasure Coast Regional Planning Council on May 20th of this year:

". . . we are not the ones flushing septic tanks into our own waters."
