Joe Booth, a former resident of Athens and Watkinsville, is participating in a project at the University of Alabama to develop new technology for septic systems to help homeowners in an area of Alabama known as the Black Belt. That area is notorious for septic problems due to the hard dark-colored clay. Booth had lived in the Watkinsville area until his family moved to Dacula, where he graduated high school in 1996.
