Septic Systems 101

In the summer of 2009 AWWA partnered with the York County Soil & Water Conservation District to hold a series of Septic Socials. Neighbors gathered at 3 private homes and the Acton Town Hall to learn the basics of septic system function and the do’s and don’ts of maintenance. YCSWCD Project Manager Joe Anderson delivered the informative and entertaining presentations.

Improperly functioning septic systems can have a devastating effect on water quality. Take a look at the presentation, courtesy of Joe Anderson and YCSWCD, to learn all you ever wanted to know about how they work, what they can do and what happens when they are not working properly.
