The Onsite Sewage Treatment Program provides homeowners with best management practices to keep their septic systems operating properly. Our goal is to ensure that you can treat your wastewater while protecting human and environmental health in a cost-effective manner.

These programs are really about recycling water: cleaning wastewater and returning safe water to the water cycle. If a septic system is not functioning properly, clean water is not returned to our groundwater systems.

The Septic Systems Owners Guide is a useful resource for information regarding septic system ownership.
