I've been an Environmental Health Specialist for 19 years and dealing with failing septic systems for poor people is always a challenge. I agree with this bill and hope that the process for obtaining these loans can be done quickly. The regulations do not allow the Health Department to wait till funding can be found. If the failure is a health hazard then the health hazard must be elimenated immediately regardless of the cost.
