PRINCETON – State funds will allow the Town of Princeton to help three families with failing or failed septic tanks. Princeton has been awarded $224,000 from the NC Division of Water Infrastructure to extend sewer services to three homes on Holt’s Pond Road.
One of the properties with a failing septic tank is owned by Ken and Shauna Millar.
Shauna Millar thanked the Town of Princeton for their efforts. “We would like to thank you for working with the DEQ, and for seeking the funds to resolve the septic/sewer issue our family has been facing for the last year. This resolution will greatly provide necessary improvement in our daily lives. We are looking forward to the completion of the project!”
The funds are from the Clean Water Revolving Fund with $168,000 of grant monies and $56,000 loan at zero percent interest.
“Obtaining the funding for the residents on Holt’s Pond Road will improve their quality of life and complete an area of town that did not have sewer services. The Town of Princeton staff work with TRC Engineering to apply for the funding and both are pleased to assist these property owners,” said Mayor Don Rains.
Nothing exemplifies the SOCIALIST slide of America like giving away free government money to individuals. Every True Conservative American should be ashamed at this “nanny nation” we’ve become. If you can’t maintain your home — you don’t deserve to own it. What’s next… will the Town of Princeton mow my lawn for me?!?! #BeResponsible #VoteOutIncumbents
They are not giving them the money to fix their septic. The town is using the money to connect them to the town sewer system.
@BB: Must be nice to have the government to pay the bull to get the connection. Everyone else has to pay their own way. How is this any different than affirmative action and preferential school admissions? #StopSocialism #EveryonePaysTheSame #OneStanardForEveryone
Don’t try to reason with these people, BB. They don’t read the articles. They just browse the headline and troll the comments. But yes, that is exactly what is happening.
And, people should keep in mind that this article does not mention the environmental crisis within the town. It’s my understanding that each home will in fact be paying the same connection fees as anyone else is required to pay. It is the civic responsibility of the town to provide access to the public sewer system. This grant saves the town’s expense, not those homeowners.
@Sorry: Sounds like you also want to forgive studwnt loans and increase Medicare. Take your Socialst views to Europe!
@Tell First, when you’re referring to anything about education, spell check is your friend.
Second, who hurt you? Why are you so angry about something that has nothing to do with you? Please don’t spout “my tax dollars….” those residents are also paying taxes.
Lastly, instead of telling other people to leave the country, perhaps it is you who should look for another, more suitable place of residence.
Your outrage addiction is getting out of hand. Seek peace.
I wonder what happened to those people who lack empathy and a shred of decency and kindness. The anger of being a maga trumpcan must be exhausting…
So many of the “greatest generation” voted for FDR – four times. That’s right – depending on your age – your parents or grandparents maybe great grandparents. Even Reagan, who I am sure maga considers a rino, voted for FDR all four times. Newt Gingrich rates FDR the greatest 20-century President.
Imagine that…
Trump and his ilk loves the uneducated- we do not have to wonder why…

We all have a lot of poop to deal with, they need to learn to deal with theirs.
The Town of Princeton has set a precedent I hope it can sustain. While I am happy the homeowners are going to get some reprieve from their septic issues, I believe the problem is not a Town of Princeton matter. The home mentioned in the article was purchased in May 2022. There was no sewer available when the home was purchased. There must be more to the story. $224,000 could pay for many septic systems. And where are the other two homes?
