That being said, there are parts of Florida in the South and along the West Coast down to the Everglades that could probably use this. There are a lot of bacteria problems along the West Coast and at times the East Coast that have to do with runoff from Farming and septic issues.

I do not see why the State felt the need to even consider this as I believe it should be left to the counties to decide if such a program is necessary.

This was nonsense and another expense we would have for no good reason. Most normal septic tank owners take care of there systems because they do not want a costly expense so they do get pump outs and when that is done they "inspect" you then really or they cant do certain jobs. Thank God this has been put to rest!! Praise the Lord!! This was nonsense and another expense we would have for no good reason.

It was introduced by the head of the GOP in our state, for Cripe's sake, and he should know better than to bring in more frivolous government intrusion into our lives~!

There seems to be laws for everything. You buy a piece of property, pay for it, then the county/ government wants to tell you WHAT you can do or cannot do. I know that when the property is paid for, it's never yours, one pay taxes the rest of one's life. It seems no matter what one does to maintain one's property there's always someone wanting to pass a law to do this or that to that property. We DON'T need any more laws. The ones we have DON't always work. That's my take on Mr. Hill and his law. Praise the Lord! There seems to be laws for everything.

Thank you Legislators for getting this one right. We are like everyone else who has commented here, we take care of our own system maintenance on a monthly basis, it's an asset to our property, so why wouldn't we take care of it? If you want to truly know what is polluting our waters, environment and us, watch the documentary Biosludged, then you will learn, it's not our individual septic tanks that are the culprit, as a matter of fact, our individual septic tanks are doing everyone else a favor!

When we first moved my wife, Mrs. Jazzreel, worried about it "backing up". That is what she remembered about septic tanks, they leave wet spots in the yard and they back up into the house. I told her we needed to treat the septic tank to keep those things from happening. Ever since she has, religiously, added the treatment every month. We raised 3 girls and never once have we had a problem. That said, it will probably plug solid and stop draining today. I have been in my house for 30 + years and never had a problem.
