On-site sewage mound systems
 

My community is located in Chesapeake and Suffolk  Va. We do not have storm water drainage. Both cities have refused to put drainage in. They await for developers to come and they charge them to pike a ditch or make a retention pond just for the areas they build on. In 2019 there arose on-site sewer mounds in our highly water table area. I contacted Richmond Health Department. I was told these must be cleaned out more regularly than sewers underground. When checking with VDH, I was told none built in my community were listed. So who is monitoring this new growth of errors in this high water table, sea level rise, no storm water area to help our community?
