Converting septic tanks to city sewer is high up on the Ormond Beach City Commission’s list of priorities for half-cent sales tax funding. Just not in Ormond-by-theSea. The City Commission didn’t vote on the issue, but three out of the five commissioners were in favor of converting the septic tanks in the city limits before they looked to the north peninsula, which according to a 2013 report by the Florida Department of Health in Volusia County, houses three of the worst suited areas in the county for septic.
