The University of Minnesota Onsite Sewage Treatment Program will offer a FREE webinar on Tuesday, September 15, from 6:30 - 7:30 p.m. to celebrate SepticSmart Week in partnership with MOWA and the MPCA.

Being Septic Smart

The ‘Being Septic Smart’ webinar teaches property owners the basics about how their septic systems work, including how to care for and maintain a septic system so it can function during or beyond its design lifetime.

  • How a septic system works
  • The purpose of the septic tank and drain field or mound
  • How a properly operating septic system protects ground and surface water
  • How often the septic tank should be pumped
  • Whether additives are a good idea

How to prevent winter freeze-ups, and much more
