A Lowndes County company is helping to address some of the ongoing sewage problems — that some people in the county are facing.
SABIC — a plastics manufacturing company in Burkville — donated $500,000 dollars to the Black Belt Unincorporated Wastewater Program — in response to ongoing sanitary issues in Lowndes County. About four years ago — raw sewage from Willie Mae Spivey’s home — began running onto a neighbor’s property.She needed a new septic system. But didn’t have the money to get one.And it was out of that kind of need — that the Blackbelt Unincorporated Wastewater Program — was born. The non-profit helped Spivey — and 59 other people since — to replace their old worn out septic systems.
A new onsite sewage disposal treatment system — can cost anywhere from $12,000 to $28,000 dollars — to install.
