Project Description:
The West Augustine Septic Tank replacement program is one of the most critical steps in continuing the revitalization of this historic area. The West Augustine area is one of the most economically depressed areas in Northeast Florida. Many conditions have led to the problems faced today in the area, one of which is the old septic system in the community. Many of the residences have non-conforming or homemade septic system. In a recent survey of the community, one home was found to have no septic system at all. The potential of greater failure of these systems is very high, which could according to the St. Johns County Health Department, "will certainly increase the potential for disease, especially considering the poor drainage in the area." The project will allow the County, working with the City, to run sewer lines to through the community and hook up the residents of this community. Further, funds will be used to enhance the wastewater runoff systems, to improve drainage in the community.
Measurable Outcome Anticipated:
The measurable outcome will be a positive impact on groundwater, improved drainage and a far improved quality of life. In addition, the proper sewer system will enhance opportunities for economic development in West Augustine.
