County to offer septic system workshops

Is there a septic system on your property? If you want to learn how to keep it functioning properly, Erie County invites you to attend their virtual Septic System Workshop scheduled for Tuesday, Sept. 27 at 7 p.m. 

Attendees will learn how septic systems work, how to properly maintain them to keep them working well, and why it’s important to keep your system maintained to protect local streams and drinking water wells. Attendees will also be eligible for door prizes, as well as a $30 rebate on a septic system pump-out until program funds run out.

To register for the virtual workshop, please visit https://erie.webex.com/erie/j.php?RGID=r0a305d5f899628f2c5ed1d9d1f180018.

The Lake Erie Watershed Protection Alliance (LEWPA) is also planning in-person septic system maintenance workshops at Cattaraugus, Chautauqua and Erie County locations at a later date. Attendees will learn how to maintain their system and will be eligible for prizes and rebates on system pump-outs. Visit https://www4.erie.gov/septicsmart/workshops for workshop updates.
