Why Clifton Heights needs this specifically
On Clifton Heights’ suburban-to-urban transitional lots, septic overflow response accounts for the mix of lot sizes and drain-field placement that varies block to block.
Because building age varies block to block, a newer-looking home in Clifton Heights can still be tied into the same aging municipal infrastructure as its older neighbors — visible age isn’t a reliable predictor of backup risk.
