Septic System Operation & Maintenance
The Health Department's Septic System Operation and Maintenance Program works to ensure that septic systems are located and installed correctly and kept in good working condition. Your septic system is ranked as Low, Moderate, or High risk based on the type of system you have and where it is located. The Operation and Maintenance Program then helps you ensure that your septic system is kept in good working order by providing you with educational materials to inform you about the type of system you have, its location, and actions you can take to keep your system working properly. This reduces the risk of contaminating groundwater and surface water, and reduces the risk to you, your family, and pets from exposure to untreated sewage. Good operation and maintenance practices also help extend the life of your septic system, saving you money!
