| Description |
Septic systems tend to be out-of-sight and out-of-mind, but they can actually be the source of serious water quality and public health problems if not managed correctly. Skagit County has two successful on-site septic system programs. With money from the Water Quality State Revolving Fund, Skagit County Planning & Development Services provides low interest loans to property owners to repair and replace failing septic systems. With support from an Ecology Centennial Clean Water Fund grant, Skagit County Public Health Department is educating and providing incentives for homeowners to have their septic systems inspected and maintained regularly so that water quality is protected. |
