Sorry Orion this thread is off of its original track.
If septic systems are such a large culprit to polluting the lake, why not for the sake of the lake (all lakes) make it mandatory to replace all systems with in a determined distance from the lake if the system is 30+ years old. Then no if, ands, or buts, later on if a system has aged 30 years it gets replaced again.
30 years is only a number estimating a life expectancy of a septic system.
I realize all would say you can't make me do that, and I can't afford that, but we are talking about water front properties....yes you can afford it.
What we can't afford is a polluted lake.
