As the sale of a waterfront property proceeded in Rogersville, Missouri, a home inspection found the onsite system was not up to code.
“There was an existing wastewater system, but it was 40 years old. Nobody knew what size it was or where it discharged,” says Larry LaFollette. He co-owns LaFollette Excavating of Strafford, Missouri, which installed a replacement system.
The two-bedroom house was built as a recreational residence and sits on a bank about 25 feet above the James River, which made the project environmentally sensitive. The owner liked the home so much that he took up permanent residence, LaFollette says.
