Preferred Service

“The reason I would like to hook up to sewer service to this particular house is I rent my house out to vacationers and I’m always worried about the septic overflowing.”
-Debbie Tewell, Foley

“When we moved into the house, the previous owner told us that the septic tank had just been redone and was in excellent shape, the yard had been dug up since our last viewing so we knew work had been done and we took his word for it. It turns out that he just emptied the tank and covered it up knowing that the giant oak tree roots were wreaking havoc on our septic lines. Our toilets starting backing up which we noticed when our son was giggling about the toilet “burping” and backing all up in our house and bathtub. I walked out back to the smell sewage and giant puddles forming on the lawn and under my son’s tree swing. After 10 months of living here, we will have to replace everything or attach to the sewer lines. The thought of this burden landing directly on my husband breaks my heart. He can and would make this happen for us somehow, that’s just who he is. But the thought of him having to worry about this is gut wrenching to me.”
-Brittany Williams, Spanish Fort

-Jan McCoy, Foley

“When it rains and the ground is wet our field lines do not drain properly because the water does not have anywhere to go. Therefore when we get a substantial amount of rain we ration out the water. We schedule the washing of clothes, dishes and children. It would be nice to just have the freedom to wash anything at anytime. Thank you for providing sanitary sewer to help keep the environment clean.”
-Angela Foley, Silverhill

“I have two kids, myself and my wife living in our little house. There is a lot of water usage and when it rains a good bit my driveway, which is where my septic tank is located for some reason, becomes a mud pit. My septic line for my kitchen sink backed up last year and I had to have a field line put in. The smell was horrid, and with two kids I am tired of worrying about the nasty septic waters and tired of worrying about back ups.”

“After purchasing our new home in the Lillian area, we were informed by the neighbors that the seller had frequently had septic issues over the past few years. During the last heavy rain our toilets became sluggish and we could see that we would need a fix very soon. I know in time it would provide a peace of mind to be on a sewer service.”
-Pete Mitchum, Lillian

“Currently my family and I have a septic system. We have lived at our current residence for about 16 years. We have to get our septic tank pumped quite often. After we first moved in, we had sewage come up in our bath tub. This was within the first year of residence. We had to have our field lines redone and extra put in. This was a temporary fix. With a large family of 5 kids, I do quite a bit of washing, not to mention baths and toilet use. There are times during rainy weather we have to limit our water usage because the toilets bubble and do not want to flush. It would be so nice to have the sewer system installed to be free from dread of sewage backup. It is bad when we have company over and our toilets won’t flush or you have to limit shower usage to the ones that need it the most. We like to be clean, so this is rough when it rains a lot!! I would love to have a dependable sewer system that would allow for washing and cleaning whenever needed.”
-Daphne Clark, Loxley
