In the spring of 2008, the Township of Horton in Renfrew County decided to install two 10000 gallon "septage" (sewage from septic tanks) storage tanks in the ground on Township property so they could participate in an experimental pilot project of spreading "septage" on farm land. The location that the Township chose is the problem. The tanks are directly across the road from Larry and Cindy Reid's house. The Reid family strongly objected to the planned location of the tanks as would any family. Who would want 20000 gallons of human manure - "septage" - stored in the ground only 125 feet from their home?
