The Alabama Department of Public Health has announced plans to address sewage issues in Lowndes County.
MONTGOMERY , Ala. -
It has been one year since ADPH’s interim agreement with the U.S. Department of Justice and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. Since signing the agreement May 3, 2023, ADPH has created an Environmental Health Assessment to measure the health risks created by sewage and septic systems.
The assessment determines if a home needs a new septic system by considering location of raw sewage on the property, how often raw sewage backs up into the home, and the age and medical conditions of people in the homes being assessed.After the first round of assessments, ADPH found a high level of need in Lowndes County. They have since created the Lowndes County Septic System Improvement Program to begin work to improve septic systems in the area..
