Over the past year, people across Stone County have come together to imagine what’s possible for their communities. Through surveys, conversations, events, and outreach, residents identified three shared priorities: homes people can afford, clean and safe water, and places to get together.

Those ideas have been captured into a community-driven Action Plan with projects to shape the future of housing, water, and community spaces in Stone County. Read more: https://www.ourstonecounty.org/news/celebrating-a-year-of-community-planning-and-action

"Your septic system needs regular maintenance to function properly! Septic tanks should be pumped out every 3-5 years, depending on tank and household size."
