Federal officials announced a pilot program on Tuesday to help 11 communities improve their sewage infrastructure
Fetid water stands outside a mobile home in a small mobile home park in rural Hayneville, Ala., on Monday, Aug. 1, 2022. The government announced a pilot program on Tuesday to help rural communities that face serious sewage problems like those in Lowndes County, where Hayneville is located. HAYNEVILLE, Ala. — — When there's heavy rain, human waste from the pond of sewage across the street from Charlie Mae Holcomb’s home covers her front yard in rural Alabama.
“The America that we all believe in is a land of opportunity. But for historically marginalized communities from Alabama to Alaska, that opportunity is stolen when basic sanitation doesn’t work – exposing adults and children to backyard sewage and disease,” EPA Administrator Michael Regan said in a statement.
Now, Lowndes is a poor place in a poor state. The same sewage problems have been cropping up ever since Holcomb moved to Pine Street in 1987, and she’d sick of the government’s inaction.
