How often does this happen?

It's an important question. Regional Utilities would have that information. I'm not sure Regional covers Inlet Beach. Don't they have their own water system?

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.

I stand corrected. Whoever gave them a permit is an idiot. But it's like a lot of things around here, no one really looks into things especially how it affects the beach.

It is hard to believe that anyone ever thought it was OK to put septic tanks on the beach.

But it's definitely criminal to still have them there.

Many of the homes in Gulf Trace, the older homes in Grayton Beach, and the older homes in Blue Mountain Beach - plus a few here and there along the coast - were built long before water and sewer were even available here. I want to say early 80's or so was when Regional Utilities began, and it took several years to have full availability. Meanwhile, your multi-million high-end homes are probably recent additions and should have been required to hookup.
