To keep our waters clean and healthy, out of sight shouldn’t mean out of mind. Improperly functioning and overloaded septic systems are major sources of water pollution, leaking harmful pollutants like bacteria and phosphorus into groundwater, lakes and streams. Maintaining a healthy, high-functioning septic system is a vital step you can take to protect your lake, and save you money from costly repairs or a system replacement.
