Small towns in central Texas Cities big enough to need public septic systems, yet small enough to lack funding. Small towns face the challenge of providing sewer services to the community. According to Langeveld & Clemens, public sewer systems cost municipal entities $10,456,120.00. (2016) Forty-four million gallons of raw sewage seep into natural water supplies. (EPA, 2018). There is a risk of economic failure, loss, safety, and health by not having a public sewer source. From a small city perspective, the cost is an absorbent amount of money with a price tag of $10,109.600.00. According to Langeveld & Clemens, public sewer systems cost municipal entities millions of dollars. (2016)
The general business problem is cities coerced into providing sewer services to the community but do not have the funding. The specific business problem is small cities does not have the revenue to support the expenses of sewer systems, and without them are at risk of health and safety violations.
The purpose of this qualitative research identifies the financial impact of public septic systems in small towns in Texas. Interviews among government officials, city staff and citizens from three towns with a population of 1500 or less provide analytical documentation indicating the needs of public septic systems and the financial impacts. Survey questions identify the financial impact for citizens and the city government.

Furness, Z. (2016). Reframing concussions, masculinity, and NFL mythology in league of
denial. Popular Communication, 14(1), 49–57. https://doi-org.ezp.waldenulibrary.org/10.1080/15405702.2015.1084628
Furness (2016) took a different approach to the lack of communication or the communication crisis within the NFL. Furness (2018) collected data from films, books, and journalist on the denial of concussion by the NFL. The denial of a severe crisis which was covered up or not talked about for over thirty years was a significant concern for a lot of stakeholders (Furness, 2016). This article expresses the concern downplaying the violence in American football. This article also shows how the NFL can shut down the media communication channels if the NFL shows in a negative context. Furness (2016) goes on to explain how the sports broadcasters try to normalize the rhetoric on concussions and injuries instead of telling the truth about how dangerous the sport is.

Eriksson’s (2018) crisis management and crisis communication research study argued that a systematic review could investigate more deeply into social media crisis management. Eriksson (2018) used both qualitative and quantitative analysis methods to analyze peer-reviewed articles from different fields of communication

Ha and Riffe (2015) studied research as a sophisticated program. Their research method used the conceptual framework to justify the results of the study. Ha and Riffe (2018) explained that the interdisciplinary process allowed them to use different theories to finish the results of their research.
