The good Ole boys will hire their friends to do the work half way done. I suggest Escambia County actually send up an inspector to double check the work.

This will likely be the most challenging endeavor. Yawl might be in trouble Century. Correction, more trouble.. “Century will be required to submit invoices and other documentation in order to receive payment from the county on a reimbursement basis.”

This will likely be the most challenging endeavor. Yawl might be in trouble Century.

Correction, more trouble..

So here's a poll D5 Do you want more money on your ECUA bill? Are you able to recognize this is the bast path forward? I bet the answer is. NO. and YES Rasheed

The biggest contributor to the waste stream is the state prison in unincorporated D5. As far as I know EPA didn't fine the town -- there is nowhere else to go but to improve the system. http://www.northescambia.com/2019/09/meeting-of-the-minds-senator-others-brainstorm-how-to-save-centurys-failing-sewage-plant There was a grand jury formed and a report on Century but they returned no true bill, no charges. It's going to get improvements, as well as the drinking water systems. The gas system has been made viable. Kudos to the changes that have been implemented so far. Give credit where credit is due.

ECUA needs to take over the operation of the sewage treatment plant, or we will just see a repeat of the same. Considering that failure to maintain this type of a facility could and did create a health risk for the residents living in the surrounding area and anyone who uses the river and waters that the system discharges into, is reason enough to pull it from the town. Allowing this system to get in a condition where it is totally inoperable shows total disregard for the people who live here and secondly the environment in which we live, not to mention it is borderline criminal. For all the reasons I have stated this system should be taken from the towns control. The individuals who were given stewardship over this system did not take their responsibilities serious and should be held accountable for their incompetence. Rewarding incompetence!
