At least a dozen cesspools will be retrofitted as modern septic tanks in Gila County, Arizona, thanks to a newly launched Cesspool Remediation Project, reported the Gila Herald. Project partners include Gila County, the Water Infrastructure Finance Authority of Arizona and Arizona Department of Environmental Quality. The initiative aims to replace cesspools and aging septic systems on private property with modern septic systems. The remediation project is funded by a 100% forgivable WIFA loan of $250,000 to Gila County.
