Christobel’s Sewer Upgrade Wins

Northwest Jacksonville’s Christobel neighborhood is finally getting the city sewer connection it’s waited decades for—thanks to a bold new project removing 300+ septic tanks and linking homes to JEA’s wastewater system, all funded by the city and EPA with no upfront cost to residents. This isn’t just a convenience upgrade—it’s a major environmental win, slashing pollution in the St. Johns River and protecting wildlife and recreation. Local residents like Loretta Barfield and William Batts spearheaded the effort, organizing neighbors to make it happen. It’s a powerful example of community, city, and federal collaboration turning decades of neglect into progress for all. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
