South Newport’s a beautiful spot. Quiet roads. Big yards. Marsh breeze. But that mix of older systems, high water tables, and folks putting off maintenance—it turns into a messy cocktail real fast. I’ve seen tanks so full the grass above them looked pregnant. Seen pipes collapsed, filters clogged with things that shouldn’t exist. Trust me, you don’t want to be “that neighbor” with the smell drifting across the property line.
