- iskander 5y agoHahaha, spoken like someone who hasn't lived in Florida. Miami-Dade is full of septic tank. I think the state has about ~3M of them total. No one thought about the coastal water table when installing them, and I honestly don't know if they do even now. See: https://www.gainesville.com/story/sports/columns/dooley/2019/06/01/florida-septic-tanks-in-crisis/5009400007/ https://www.gainesville.com/story/sports/columns/dooley/2019... Situation is similar across the whole Gulf Coast. You really shouldn't assume any of this was rationally planned.
