Many existing septic systems in the Stubbs Bay area are <br />substandard in construction, design, and location. These <br />substandard systems, when l-.ated in poor soil or water <br />conditions, have a relatively high potential for future failures <br />to occur. <br />The sub -areas which have the most critical potential future <br />problems are Stubbs Bay Northwest and Stubbs Bay Northeast. <br />Bayside North is the only sub -area which, save for 1 residence, <br />could be expected to use septic systems indefinitely without <br />major problems. The Bederwood sub -area contains a number of <br />small lots surrounded by larger lots, and the smaller lots could <br />be expected to have future system replacement problems. The <br />Bayside East sub -area could be expected to experience future <br />system replacement problems due to the hills and creeks that are <br />present. <br />Seven optional methods for managing sewage in the Stubbs Bay <br />�.rea have been reviewed and evaluated. Each option has certain <br />limitations in technical and economic feasibility. From a <br />technical standpoint, municipal sewer provides the most permanent <br />sewage disposal method for this area, and resolves existing and <br />potential problems in a single effort. From an economic stand- <br />point, septic system problems on some properties can be solved <br />less expensively than the cost of municipal sewer, but on a <br />substantial number of properties municipal sewer is the only <br />possible alternative other than cost -prohibitive holding tanks or <br />actual condemnation and demol.'_tion, if future septic system <br />failures occur. <br />+W <br />
