Quotes

"They're facing the same dilemma that anybody else would be because of the growth in Lehigh," said county Public Works Director Jim Lavender. "Everybody knows it's just a ticking time bomb."

“Growth continues in areas not served by central water and sewer,” Lavender said, and the county continues to lead Florida — and the country — in the number of septic tank permits issued.

"That's not what we want," Lavender said. "Hopefully nobody will become ill, but you can't continue to put your septic tank and your well on the same lot forever."

Commissioner Tammy Hall said "We have to sit back and take a realistic look at the future. Lee County's No. 1 in septic tanks right now and we have to do something."
