Yep, similar to my situation only I don't get to share costs with anyone.




This is what all the agencies think I'm doing now only instead of dumping it into the storm sewers they think I'm pumping it into the river. Duh! If they'd take water samples from behind my property they'd see nothing is or has leached out.
Part of my job is dealing with the MOE and all the other agencies on an industrial scale. It is never fun.

UGH! What is the estimated cost to build a mound system up there?

Took 18 years, and approval of about 26 different federal, state, and local agencies to put our waste water system in for our little town of 300 buildings. It took millions in grants, and $12k per property owner to hook up, plus we all had to pay to have our old septic tanks safely removed, and new approved tanks put in. It is a STEP/STEG system where we all still have tanks, but they drain to above ground evaporation ponds. My share of maintenance is $300/year. That is just for their side. I still have to pump my tank and clean the exit filter regularly.
DANG! One could build a lot of these for that price -

Man, when the seasons change here, they don't mess around. 90s everyday for a week then bam, 70s and showers. The hummingbirds instantly left town. I could watch hummingbirds fight over the feeder all day long, now not a one.

Found out all my gutters are clogged. I see a lot of up and down the ladder today.

Apparently Atlanta isn't going to cool down this year. Got in my car yesterday at 6:00pm and the dash shows 110 degrees, and the car was in the shade!

Be careful, falls are the most common injury for old, retired men -
