Cost
Well I am concerned greatly with the health of the lake, I think the thing you have to keep in mind when thinking about putting sewers in is the Cost. Yes I will admit the Taxes are high...but they would go even higher to put a sewer system in around the lake. To put a number on it....even to take the cheaper way out and pipe to the Franklin treatment facility....if it can even process the volume.... your talking about millions of dollars.....
I think before people get locked up about sewers they need to think about what lawn treatments (fertilizers) etc. are doing....and there are a lot of Nice green lawns and beautiful flower beds around the lake now...and those fertilizers aren't always harmless.......
Finally let me say this....if a septic system is correctly installed and operating correctly the end result after the water has leached out is not all that bad....not that I would drink it.........In short what I am saying the issue is not all the septic systems, but all the underdesigned and not maintained systems.......
