I don't think the poster meant to insult you or anyone else.  But aging septic systems are a problem.  I don't think that anyone back in the day did anything deliberate to sully the lake, but now we know more about polluting ground water and how that works, so if they did so it wasn't with intent, they just didn't know.  But over a period of time, old septic systems will break down and the waste has to go somewhere.  Even in Coosa County, which probably has less laws and rules about building than any of the other counties, is extremly strict about septic systems, their proximeity to the lake.  

Let's face it, it is in everyone's best interest to keep the lake pollution free.  And we probably don't have a problem in the shorter term, but long term, questions should be asked about run off and other things that may lead to a problem in the future.  Every year we hear about people contracting fleash eating or brain destoying parasites that can be present in the water.  I know that there is a big testing program on our lake that checks the water quality, but they can only do so much.  It's up to us to be the stewards of the environment as best we can.  

I stopped using any kind of chemicals on our lawn years ago.  Yes, I have weeds, but I also have a living eco system of toads, lizards and other creatures that are threatened by the use of chemicals.  I know the companies say they are safe for the environment, but they used to say that about Round up too.

I think the point is that when we know better, we should do better.  I am wondering why we need more golf courses anyway - isn;'t golf supposed to be on the way out?
