From what I understand, this project was torpedoed by the residents of Beach lOts when it came up back in 1998. Because they pulled out at the last minute, the whole project was shelved and Federal Funds were lost. Let's hope this doesn't repeat...

That's true, shiny. I've got the link to the timeline that Vacationland put together to try to get Beach Lots (current residents) onboard with the new study and proposal:

Then go to "KKWA" and then "Sewer System Effort" then "Cesspool Seepage Timeline".
