Financing Options for Healthy Onsite Sewage Systems (2018 Action Agenda)
SFSIL NTA_2018-0129
Snohomish County, through the existing Savvy Septic Pilot Program, will provide affordable financing options and education to empower residents in Snohomish County to maintain healthy OSS systems through rebates, low-income grants, technical support, and free septic care workshops for homeowners. Methods for success include:
1. Hosting at least 6 free homeowner workshops on best practices for OSS operations and maintenance.
2. Provide grants for 40 low-income residents to replace or repair failing OSS, or perform preventative maintenance to prevent failure.
3. Provide 400 homeowner rebates for septic system inspections ($100 max) and installation of septic risers ($50 per riser, up to 2)
