Many homes with septic systems depend on private wells for their water supply. This means water wells and septic systems live in close proximity. The two can be a dangerous mix if your septic system isn’t approved and properly maintained.

So, even if you are not a well owner, malfunctioning septic systems can still impact your health and every resident by contaminating our surface water(i.e. creeks and reservoirs) and groundwater.

A septic system is really a mini wastewater treatment plant, with the homeowner serving as the operator.

If you are an owner-operator of a septic system, it's important to your health and the health of your family and neighbors that you check your system today to ensure it has been approved and is operating within public health guidelines.

And it matters to: our water & home value.
