The practice of relying on on-site systems is widespread because of the rural nature of the state. This article discusses the evolution of the maintenance program, and new requirements for sewage disposal and on-site wastewater treatment systems.

Abstract:
Connelly Springs, a small town in Burke County, will soon have drinking water thanks to the assistance from a new program within the Construction Grants and Loans Section of the North Carolina Division of Environmental Management. By 1995, the town will have completed a distribution system that will allow access to the county’s water supply. Construction is being done by residents as part of the loan agreements under the North Carolina Small Community Self-Help Program.
