Next Week is SepticSmart Week
Plan now to promote SepticSmart Week, taking place on September 16-20 this year. This annual event is focused on educating homeowners and communities about the proper use of septic systems. Proper septic system siting, maintenance, and repair helps safeguard public health by reducing exposure to pathogens and harmful diseases in ground water sources of drinking water, and preventing other potential impacts.
Communities, local groups, and state governments can help celebrate and promote SepticSmart Week by organizing educational events, signing proclamations, conducting promotions, or sharing social media from the SepticSmart program. For more information and to get materials, visit EPA’s website.
