Installation of Residential Septic System in Lowndes County

Mr. & Mrs. Odell McMeans of Lowndes County, Alabama, were sited by a local judge for a malfunctioning residential septic system and given an order to correct their problem or go to jail. 

Septic tanks are extremely difficult to install for poor families in the Black Belt Soil Section of Alabama, due to heavy clay soils and the cost of installing alternative systems. 

Alabama Chapter of the NOPBNRCSE gave a $1,000 grant to help install an onsite sewage system for the McMeans family.
