He said that the menace to the health of the people of Norlina arising from the lack of a sanitary disposal system has been of great con cern to the State and County Health Departments for years. Since 1948, Stultz said, the problem has increased to such an extent that a num ber of ditches have had to be opened in order to drain the overflow sewage from overloaded septic tanks in the residental sections of the town. In the business dis trict the overflow has been diverted Into the storm drains which empty into an open ditch lat runs through sev eral b' ocks near the Metho dist Church and the Norlina school area. "These open I ditches," Stultz said, "not only create a health problem from mosquitoes but have such an unpleasant odor that people in the neighborhoods j where they are located are ! unable to stay outside dur ! ing the hot summer months." 1 Engineers from the State Health Department have been trying since 1948 to find an answer to the problem, Stultz said. He added: "The only solution is a town sewage system, or, in most instances, Sanitary Pit Privies. The lat ter is neither convenient or attractive." Stultz explained that if in dividual corrections were pos sible. due-to the .p0W-_4k?? sorption rate of the soil in Warren County, the coat would range from $180.00 for sink gpd. washing machine disposal to septic tanks and However, he said, due to increased usage of water in the modem homes, and th'e small lots in Norlina, individ ual correction of thasa mal functioning tanks is Impossi ble in most sections of the town. Stressing the need for the construction of the sewer lines and a sewage disposal system, Stultz continued: "Without an adequate town sewage* system the growth and development of Norlina is impossible. In the last tea years, with the loss of busi ness from tourists on XT. S. | Highway No. 1, a number of | dining and lodging establish | ments have had to close. Un ! less the town can offer ade i quate sewage disposal, as ? we!? ac an approved water supply, it cannot hope to at tract new businesses and manufacturing plants that can easily find these necessities available in other towns in North Carolina.
