FYI FROM THE WSC NATL OFFICE -- FEMA HELP FOR WELL OWNERS ...
FEMA may help with septic tanks and wells
Monday, June 23, 2008
INDIANAPOLIS-- If your septic tank or well is damaged as a result of the storms and floods that began in May 30 that deluged Indiana, you may be eligible for financial assistance to repair or replace your well or septic system from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA).
For homeowners in any of the 37 counties designated as a federal disaster area, a disaster-assistance home-repair grant program covers wells and septic system damage.
Those eligible may receive funds to pump septic tanks, perform required repairs, or even replace the system. Damaged private wells that are the sole source of water for the house also may be repaired or decontaminated with grant funds.
You must register for disaster assistance with FEMA to be eligible for this grant that does not have to be paid back.
"We don't want anyone living in a house with contaminated water or exposed to raw sewage," said FEMA federal coordinating officer Michael Smith. "If you have applied for state and federal disaster assistance you should advise the FEMA inspector that you have a private well and septic system."
This grant is intended to help return homes to livable conditions. To qualify for a limited home-repair grant, you must first register for assistance with FEMA, own the home, and the home must be your primary residence. Grants are not intended to restore a home to pre-disaster condition.
Federal and state officials urge homeowners, renters and businesses affected by the severe storms, tornadoes and flooding that began May 30, 2008, to apply for disaster assistance immediately by calling 1-800-621-FEMA. For those with hearing or speech impairments call TTY 1-800-462-7585. Registration lines and on-line registration at www.fema.gov are available 24 hours a day, seven days a week until further notice.
All residents are encouraged to get involved with the recovery by helping spread the word about available assistance. Tell your neighbor.
FEMA coordinates the federal government's role in preparing for, preventing, mitigating the effects of, responding to, and recovering from all domestic disasters, whether natural or man-made, including acts of terror.

A young minister was asked by a funeral director to hold a grave-side service for a homeless man, with no family or friends.
The funeral was to be held in a new cemetery way back in the country, and this man would be the first person to be laid to rest.
As the young minister was not familiar with the backwoods area, he got lost and being like some of the rest of us did not stop and ask for directions.
He finally arrived an hour late. He saw the back hoe and the crew, who were eating lunch, but the hearse was nowhere in sight.
He apologized for his tardiness, and stepped to the side of the open grave, where he saw the vault lid already in place. He assured the workers that he wouldn't hold them up for long, but this was the proper thing to do.
The workers gathered around, still eating their lunch. And the preacher began.
As he preached, some of the workers began to say "Amen", "Praise the Lord", "Glory", and "Halleluiah". Well, it kind of got him going and sort of got wound-up and he preached like he'd never preached before: from Genesis all the way to Revelations.
He closed the lengthy service with a prayer, closed his bible and walked to his car.
As he was opening the door and taking off his coat, he overheard one of the workers saying to another, "I ain't never seen anything like that before and I've been puttin' in septic tanks for over twenty years!"

IT TAKES A BIG WATER SYSTEM TO SUPPLY A BIG HOUSE!
When Oshkosh customer C.H. Koch Plumbing & Heating needed a private water supply and water treatment system for a very special residential application they came to McDermott's.
The application called for 2" demand piping and required a 120,000 grain water softener and triplex iron filter system sized to handle up to 50 GPM while keeping pressure loss below 10 PSI. The specialized water treatment system is supplied by a constant pressure water system with a Berkeley submersible pump capable of producing over 50 GPM at 70 PSI. Now that's a BIG system!
