Of the 17 prop- erty owners or tenants actually contacted, ]For 647. reported having experienced trouble with their individual subsurface sewage disposal systems. They complained of the seepage pits filling up, causing raw sewage to back up into the house plumbing fixtures or to overflow onto the surface of the ground.
