SUMMARY:Homeowner Septic Class  10/2024
DESCRIPTION:The Town Run Watershed Association invited Shepherdstown and Jefferson County residents and homeowners to attend a Free Homeowner Septic Class on Saturday\, October 5th\, 2024. \n\n\nThis informative session followed the nationwide SepticSmart Week to bring attention to the importance of caring for and maintaining septic systems in order to protect property\, local water systems\, and the health of the Town Run. Participants  received information about accessing special grants to cover up to $150 of the cost of a septic pump out. \n\n\n\nSeptic systems\, or on-site wastewater treatment systems\, are designed to manage wastewater from homes or properties that are not connected to a public sewer system. Approximately one in five households in the United States depend on septic systems to treat their wastewater. Malfunctioning septic systems can leach contaminated wastewater into yards\, neighborhoods\, streams and drinking water sources.\n\nThe workshop included:\nWelcome and Introduction to the Town Run Watershed\nKay Schultz\, member of the Town Run Watershed Steering Committee\,  opened the class with an overview of the Town Run Watershed’s current state and the critical steps needed to protect and restore it. Attendees  learned about the importance of Town Run as a future drinking water source\, the threats facing its health\, and how to become a “Friend” of Town Run to support ongoing conservation efforts. \nWell Water to Your Septic Field: An Overview of Septic Systems\nAlexis L. Davy\, Director of Environmental Health for Jefferson County\,  provided a comprehensive overview of septic systems and how they function. She covered why caring and maintaining a septic system is crucial\, what causes systems to fail\, and essential tips for ensuring the long-term health of a septic system. \nCost-Share Programs for Jefferson County Residents\nKristen Bisom from the West Virginia Conservation Agency introduced available cost-share programs for residents in Jefferson County. These programs offer homeowners up to $150 for septic pump outs and maintenance efforts. \nThis event provided a unique opportunity for long-time and new homeowners to learn about protecting drinking water\, maintaining septic systems\, reducing costs\, and appreciating Town Run and the broader environment.
