I grew up with Barrett Law.

Good for you.

"According to an article in the March 2003 McANA Common Ground, 6000 homes were foreclosed in year 2002. Some of those 6000 were homes that were required to replace their septic systems with sanitation sewer under the Barrett Law."

Yup, and around where I live these days if you have a septic tank and it fails (a condition for which there is a fairly objective test) you must tap into the sewer system else you lose your permit to live in your home.

For most folks that would result in an abandonment of mortgage payments as well.

Foreclosure is sure to result.

There is no "right to pour raw sewage" any more than there's a "right to drive drunk" (neatly bringing that back around to one of our sub-themes in this record breaking, if not DUI breaking, threads.
