Isn't there something useful they could be doing?

"Wrightstown officials have filed citations in district court against 77 township property owners who haven't pumped out their septic systems in more than three years."

"He said residents who have been cited can still pump out their systems and avoid a court hearing, but must still reimburse the township for the cost of filing the citation. Penalties for continued failure to comply include fines of up to $500 a day, said Pantano."

Someone needs to spend a few minutes with Chester and teach him how a septic tank functions:

"The big picture is public health and making sure it is maintained properly," said township supervisor Chairman Chester Pogonowski. "While there is no imminent health threat, these residents need to get their systems pumped out so they don't overflow."

Septic tanks don't overflow?  Where does the liquid go?

"Wrightstown has an ordinance requiring the systems to be pumped out every three years to avoid problems such as sewage leaking out of septic tanks and into ground water or wells."

Wow, they must have some enormous holding tanks.
