FLORIDA'S SITUATION

The Health Risk

A leaking septic tank can contaminate waterways and groundwater supplies with fecal matter and nitrogen. Swimmers in contaminated waters would be at risk for multiple diseases, ear or eye infection, and skin rash.

Environmental Impact

As sea levels rise, the drain field for the septic tanks are increasingly below the groundwater level. This means if the soil is saturated enough the groundwater is being contaminated by the drain field.

This pollution is not good for the communities living with septic tanks or the wildlife in the area.

Consequences

If nothing is done contamination will continue to increase, impacting the environment and causing health problems. Tourism would suffer, as Florida gets a reputation for having contaminated beaches. 71% of Florida beaches tested had unsafe levels of fecal matter at least once last year.

Florida's History

During the housing boom residential real estate development was happening faster than the infrastructure could be built. As a result, houses in dense communities were built using septic tanks instead of sewers.
