With the exception of commercial properties and high-density residential devlopments, sewers are not really necessary here. Septic tanks and their leach beds discharging into the sand they're buried in never fouled a canal, and the City can't prove that they did. Sand is the most economical filter media going. The only reason the Keys were sewered is the coral they were built on is porous, and WILL leach pathogens into surrounding waters. People like you are just not smart enough to recognize the blessings bestowed upon them. I hope you wise-up.

Stop talking sense!

Refreshingly sand filtered.

Lesson Learned:

Marco Island would rather centralize waste disposal than allow private septic systems to do the job. Was it for the protection of the environment or the perpetuation of centralized waste processing.

What will happen when the waste treatment system is breached by a storm or operational faults. All that concentrated waste in a single location rather than dispersed as in the residential areas.

The original Deltona plan was an efficient design, sewers for high concentration of development, i.e. commercial areas, the balance handled with private septic systems.

Again, was there a problem that needed to expand the sewer system or was it again a need to extend control at a high cost to its citizens?

Oh, well that is water over the dam, or is it spillway......
