Septic Tank Connect Enforcement Explored by DWU
DWU attorney LeDon Anchors says muscle power may be used to compel septic-tank users to hook onto the Destin Water Users system once notified. Okaloosa Health Dept awaits DWU data on about 20 Harbor businesses and eight Holiday Isle residents to determine who must connect within a year. The district notes it is not an enforcement agency and civil litigation is considered but deemed costly and time consuming.
