Cesspools are a type of sewage control that is a thing of the past, and it is time to revisit the science of sewers. In Sea Cliff, that science is being revisited as the shops and restaurants of Sea Cliff Avenue contain crumbling septic systems which are not in the position to be mended or replaced. Thus, as an economic and environmental solution, having these establishments hooked to our sewer system will be beneficial. Pollution into our waterways will be greatly reduced, public health will increase, and establishments suffering from the constant maintenance of their outdated septic tanks should be relieved.
