Insurance, Home Maintenance and Sewer Systems

Insurance is basically of two forms. One is maintenance of a physical system and the other is financial coverage for the potential liabilities of that system. For a sewerage system insurance needs to be thought of in very broad terms to cover each unit the community is responsible for while at the same time seeing individuals are properly covered both in maintaining their system and in protection from financial loss.

Obviously, the more complex the system in a community the greater the operating and the financial cost to the community as a whole and to individual households making up the community. Both sets of costs need to be covered, but it is the individual households who pay for the community costs as well!

What follows is a link to a really good home maintenance guide on line. It covers sewer and septic issues:

Sketches from scratches is a provocative blogspot that has grown out of the Wuh Lax experience. It is eclectic, which means that it might consider just about anything from the simple to the extremely difficult. A scratch can be something that is troubling me or a short line on paper. From a scratch comes a verbal sketch or image sketch of the issue or subject. Other sites have other stuff that should really be of interest to the broad reader. I try to develop themes, but variety often comes before depth. ... more!
