Roughly 50% of Snyder County residents own an on-lot wastewater treatment system (more commonly known as a septic system). Are you one of them?
Many people don’t know where their septic system is located, how the system works or how to maintain that system. When septic systems go bad, groundwater may become polluted.
A properly functioning septic system not only keeps pathogens and nutrients out of surface and groundwater supplies but spares homeowners from very expensive repairs or replacement costs.
Go to our Household Conservation web page to get a guide on how to properly maintain your on-lot septic system.
Rain Barrels
In the past, the Conservation District has sold barrels for the public in which they can make into water conservation rain barrels.
Go to our Household Conservation web page for more information.
