Virtual seminar to explain how to maintain septics

MAYVILLE — The Lake Erie Watershed Protection Alliance is hosting a seminar from 7 to 8 p.m. Tuesday to show residents of Cattaraugus, Chautauqua and Erie counties how septic systems work and how to maintain them. Those attending the virtual workshop will be eligible for a $30 rebate for a septic tank pump-out while funding is available. Many Chautauqua County residents and businesses rely on septic systems to treat sewage and wastewater and to avoid community health hazards. The large majority of septic system components are out of sight so it’s easy to forget how these systems work and why proper maintenance is so important. A recent study conducted by LEWPA demonstrated that bacteria from human waste washes into our waterways each time it rains. Inadequate and failing septic systems contribute to bacteria contamination as well as elevated nutrient levels, such as phosphorous and nitrogen, in the region. More information on the virtual seminar and a link for registration can be found at www4.erie.gov/septicsmart.
