«If a county adopts a sewage ordinance, then it is governed by the county and the state doesn't send inspectors in, ... That's why the state doesn't inspect our systems here. ...What our ordinance states is that we adopted the Missouri State Sewage Law.»

«We won't have plenty, but we will have more than we did last year, ... We are confident we will have at least enough to do this clinic, and hopefully have some left over to serve high-risk individuals.»

«With the new hurricane coming, we asked them to contact us if they do have anyone staying there so that we can come and let them know what services are available to them,»

«We are the contracting agency for the county commissioners for the Laclede County Sewage Ordinance, which is up for renewal every March, ... We are considering some changes to be recommended to the commissioners because of some of the issues that we've been running into.»

«What we have are basically individuals, whether it be an installer or a contractor, installing illegal systems in the county and not going through the process, which includes contacting our agency for a permit, letting our inspectors assist them and then actually inspecting the sewage system to make sure it works properly, ... We are trying to come up with some options to address what we can do about that, and we want the public's input. We want to invite installers, Realtors, lending institutions, the commission and the prosecuting attorney's office to give us input on that. Right now, if we have a violator, all we are able to do is turn that over to the prosecuting attorney's office.»
