County announces septic system inspection rebates

To help homeowners comply with the law, Clallam County Environmental Health, for a limited time, is offering a $100 rebate for qualifying septic systems.

Current state regulations require Clallam County Environmental Health to track septic system locations and inspection records of all septic systems in Clallam County. Septic systems must be inspected at least once every three years for gravity septic systems and annually for all other septic systems.

To help homeowners comply with the law, Environmental Health, for a limited time, is offering a $100 rebate for qualifying septic systems.

Rebates are available through May 15. Funds are limited and first priority systems will receive rebates ahead of other priorities.

To be eligible for the rebate, the property must meet one of the above conditions and the homeowner must have the system located, if necessary, and have a professional inspection, complete any required maintenance and submit proof of inspection and receipts to EH by May 15.

Lists of qualified Operation and Maintenance (O&M) providers and professional inspectors can be found at www.clallam.net/Septic.
