SepticSmart 2025: Septic Systems and the Environment

September 15, 9:00 - 10:00 AM EST

Michigan’s residents rely on over 1.3 million septic systems to treat the wastewater generated in their homes. Proper septic system use and routine care are vital to protecting public health and preserving our highly valued groundwater, lakes, streams, and waterways. Learning about septic systems can help you avoid costly repairs.

The Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy’s (EGLE) Onsite Wastewater Program is kicking off SepticSmart Week with this 1-hour webinar, which will be recorded and shared with all webinar registrants.

Webinar attendees will learn about:

the basics of septic systems,
septic systems and the environment, and
septic system operation and maintenance tips.

You’ll leave this webinar with access to educational materials, a better ability to manage your septic system, and a stronger understanding of how to be a good steward of the environment.

The SepticSmart program is a nation-wide initiative to share information on the proper care and maintenance of septic systems and encourage public stewardship in caring for these systems. For more information, visit epa.gov/septic.

While this webinar is targeted to homeowners served by a septic system, all interested persons are welcome to attend. Mark your calendar and register today!
