Are you suggesting people should call their congressmen the next time their septic tank gets plugged up? Most communities inflict the cost of waste removal on the owner/developer of a property. You want plumbing? Don't wair for the federal governement to install it.

If a comprehensive improvement in waste removal systems is made that benefits a certain part of a community, that is usually financed in the form of a special assessment charged to those directly property owners benefited. The federal government generally doesn't cover any of the cost. Why should it?
