Many homes in Stirling City are on lots too small for onsite wastewater.
The shared septic system is essential for the continued habitation of
these residences and the survival of the town. Residents recognized this
by voting in favor of year-after-year service fee increases to keep the
system operating. Since that was what the state demanded in exchange for
one-time funds to replace failing infrastructure, a commitment the state
now prefers to evade. While this loan forbearance provides necessary
short-term relief, the county should press for a long-term solution to
keep this tight-knit historic community viable.
