Sewage problems in Lowndes County have been well-documented in recent years. Now, there’s an effort underway to address the problem — one house at a time.
Denese Rudolph has a septic tank at her home — that she says routinely overflows into her back yard — and runs all the way out to the road.Rudolph says the tank has to be pumped out frequently. And says it’s a problem she’s had to deal with now — for more than 14 years. “And that’s completely unacceptable that the wealthiest nation on earth, with everything we have and enjoy here, has folks living in conditions that are seen in the worst parts of the developing world,” said Jed Scheuermann with International Water Sanitation and Hygiene Foundation.And that’s why crews with IWSH Foundation and Lixil Corporation — are in Lowndes County now — doing plumbing repair work — and installing a new septic tanks at five homes with sewage problems.
