– Jacksonville is moving ahead with plans to fix a broken promise by putting people on city sewers instead of septic tanks. It could end up costing billions over years using both federal and local tax dollars.
News4JAX caught up with Arron Jacobs in Northwest Jacksonville. The city calls his neighborhood Christobel, just off of Edgewater and Lem Turner. Arron and people we spoke with in that neighborhood say it’s known as The Bottoms. The 78-year-old has lived in the neighborhood since he was in the second grade.
Jacobs and his friends tell us they are glad to hear this neighborhood is next in line for septic tank phase out. They will be able to hook up to JEA sewer lines for free. Once they are hooked up they will then pay a monthly sewer fee with their JEA water bill.The News4JAX I-TEAM has been following the progress of septic tank phase out since it was first approved by the city council in 2016. It has not been a fast process.
