Grants are available to help low-income homeowners with the costs of septic system repair, replacement, and maintenance. Grant funding is limited and available on a first come, first served basis until funding is exhausted.
Grants up to $599 are available for routine septic system maintenance items, such as pumping and inspection, riser installation, and baffle repair/replacement. Any project costs over $599 will be the homeowner's responsibility. Read the Preventative Maintenance Grant one-page overview for more information.
