HAYNEVILLE, AL – MAY 21, 2015: Charlie Mae Martin Holcombe, 66, moved to her current home in Hayneville in 1984, where the sewage from a lagoon across the street regularly backs up into her front yard. "This whole area floods, all over the yard," she said. "You can count the few times that this ditch is dry." Inadequate sewage treatment has plagued Alabama's poor Black Belt community for decades, often leading to problems of overflow and contamination of the area's water supply.
