Up to 600,000 Septic Tanks May Be Flowing Into Florida's Indian River Lagoon

"The problem is septic tanks really don’t treat the sewage to a very high level, they are not engineered to remove nutrients, and they don’t disinfect. So today we have upwards of 600,000 septic tanks leaching into tidal creeks and canals that flow into the Indian River Lagoon." - excerpt from PBS news report.
