Use Your Voice, Support the Fertilizer Bill

There is a huge difference between having a septic law enacted and having it inspected and enforced. I personally know of several very old camps directly on the water where the septic systems and cesspools are original.

Agreed. Also, the septic law is just scratching the surface of the issue, and it is not nearly enough. The only properties affected are those being sold. The very old camps and cesspools that have been there for generations--no impact. We should have a requirement that all systems are inspected/maintained periodically

Once the Legislature passes a bill into law, they generally do not go right back to that subject.

Understood. I am not optimistic that we will have the right fertilizer laws next year

Somewhat Off-Topic, but millions of lawns were washed into the sea during Hurricane Milton.

So...what should appear only days later, but a giant "bloom" of algae off the coastline.

Spotted from space, it appeared as a long and narrow streak offshore as it killed fish by the millions.

Those of us around The Big Lake should remember the extremely-wet temperate seasons of 2023.
