Most have septic systems. The interest costs more than the principal, so taxpayers pay MOST of the cost. Furthermore the revolving fund was established to solve serious pollution problems of existing homes in rural areas, so diverting it to help new developments makes money scarcer for solving existing problems. The state PSC refuses to charge new developments the full cost of expanding the plant to serve them. We need to publicize the benefit of pumping out and inspecting the septic tank every 4-6 years.
Many counties require periodic inspection of septic systems.
