Did you know that properly maintaining septic systems can save you money, protect your
investment in your home, and prevent contamination of the groundwater?
When properly maintained, septic systems can provide long-term, effective treatment of household
sanitary wastewater. Failing septic systems are costly to repair or replace and can prevent the
wastewater from being properly treated. A septic system in good working order uses microbes in the
soil to digest or remove harmful contaminants, bacteria and viruses from the wastewater before it
reaches the groundwater.
