Preventative maintenance of the septic system not only extends the life of the system, but also protects the owner’s investment, water resources and public health. 

The Geauga Soil and Water Conservation District, Geauga Public Health, and Geauga West Library announce a free online SepticSmart Program. Dave Sage and Zach Myers, registered sanitarians with Geauga Public Health will discuss how a home septic system works, how to maintain a home sewage treatment system, and what to do when it appears to not be working properly.

This program is free, but reservations are required by Sept. 16 and can be made online or by contacting Geauga SWCD at 440-834-1122 or [email protected].
