Infiltration, poor soils, and a high water table overwhelmed the chamber drainfield serving a two-bedroom mobile home in Clayton, Ga. Knowing the owner could not afford to replace it, the Rabun County Environmental Health Department contacted Georgia Conservancy, an environmental organization that secured a $3,300 grant.Harold Kilgore of Gravelator Systems in Talmo won the design/installation bid.

"Even what soil evaluators called usable was the best of the worst."County manager and onsite
