Septic Owners!!
You may not realize it, but if your septic tank isn't functioning properly, septic wastes can leach out and drain into our streams and lakes, carrying waste products and bacteria, like E.Coli, right into our surface waters. According to an Ohio EPA study, Summit County lakes and streams have large amounts of E.Coli bacteria in them, which can cause humans and animals to get sick.
Please take our survey so we can determine how to provide you with the information you need to help solve the septic waste problem.
