9K (approx.) would include water & sewer tap fees. It can be more...it also can be less. The cost is based on plumbing fixtures. Also, if in an area with gravity sewer (not grinder) it can be less because it doesn't require the cost of the grinder installation.

That cost is based on the minimum and you have to hook up both its not one or the other. 99% of homes will require a grinder pump.

Not entirely correct. Some areas have Regional Utilities for sewer and South Walton Utility for water.
Also not sure about the 99% figure.

99% grinder pump is incorrect, in my opinion. But even it its true, the cost is minimal -- we have a grinder pump from regional. If you so choose, you can have your own grinder pump installed and maintain it on your own dime. Bad idea... Let the pros deal with the poo.

The 9k is tap-in. And then there is decommissioning of the old septic, which I'm sure isn't part of that 9k. It ain't cheap. Some folks will need help with this, and that's where the government should be able to help... Just an idea...

I guess all that info I just submitted to Regional Utilities and got back was fiction then, I'll leave it to you experts.

Too much apparently. Gulf Trace homeowners were given a discount off that amount and passed. They should be required to get off septic for the pub good.

More and more often during summer months because of all the people. We have septic tanks on the lakes and the gulf. Yes, there are septic tanks under the beautiful sand just east of you at Gulf Trace in Grayton Beach. Those people are playing right on top of tanks and drain fields.

This website is the only place you'll learn the truth about South Walton.
There are no tanks and drain fields on the beach. The ones that still have them (and I don't think there any) are located on the opposite side from the beach. I can't say that I know about the lake though.

Unless someone replaced them in the middle of the night Gulf Trace still has septic tanks on the beach > septic tanks and feces

Please show proof that I am wrong. I would be happy to be wrong.

I have also seen them in Inlet Beach - uncovered after storms.
