Even by NWA standards, Bella Vista is a unique municipality. Having experienced extensive growth over the past few years, two seemingly unrelated problems have emerged: bedrooms and septic systems.

It seems that some eager builders are gaining permits for 2-bedroom dwellings with additional rooms attached which are then marketed as 3-4 bedroom houses. This has resulted in overburdened and failing septic systems.

A secondary growth-related issue is the location of existing septic systems and lateral fields. Up to now, there has been no record of where the existing tanks and lateral lines were located. As properties were sold, subdivided and developed, existing systems were compromised resulting in broken septic pipes and potential well water contamination.
