INGRAM, Texas - Infrastructure can often be taken for granted, as many Texas cities have sewers and wastewater systems. Not all, though, have that luxury.

Ingram, a small town located just outside Kerrville, was without a wastewater system for many years.

Now, the town has spent the better part of a decade transitioning from septic systems to community sewer lines.

"It has been a long journey to get here and there's going to be more to come, said Ingram Mayor James Salter.

A long journey may be an understatement. The city first delved into the process in 2002, after receiving a grant from the United States Department of Agriculture. From there, Ingram has faced more than a decades worth of bureaucratic minutiae in a fight to find funding and support.

"Our city secretary is deluged with paperwork, said Salter.
