Clarence Johnson of the TWQB notes the order originated within the board to push Chambers County toward a county-wide sewage system. Most areas rely on septic tanks, with Mont Belvieu Winnie Stowell and some trailer parks offering sewer, while developers would be required to install sanitary sewers where subdivisions or parks are built.
