Matt: The cost / benefit tradeoff is my major gripe with the proposed changes. The county in which I live and work is rural and has a very low per capita income. I don't want to be in a position where I force a single parent living in a $3,000 trailer trying to make ends meet or an elderly person debating whether to pay for medications vs. utilities to pay $4,000 for a new septic system - especially one that may not work as well in our soils as one that does have some surface discharge - when the risk of serious illness is low.
