On-Site Sewage Systems: Homeowner Education Course

Repair and replacement of a failing on-site sewage system can cost homeowners thousands of dollars. A failing system can also pollute area waterways and increase the likelihood of waterborne illness for swimmers, boaters, and people using area waterways for recreation. 

But regular maintenance and inspection of a system can protect public and environmental health, increase system longevity, and protect private property use and value.

Course Details

The goal of this course is to reduce the number of failing on-site sewage systems in the Houston-Galveston region and improve overall water quality.

During this free three-hour course, participants will receive:

• An overview of the two types of systems.
• Information on system maintenance and inspection.
• Details on available resources to maintain, repair and replace aging systems.
