SUMMARY:Well and Septic System Maintenance Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Get Septic Certified and Save Money  \n“Well & Septic System Maintenance and Septic Self -Inspection Certification”\nThursday\, July 21\, 2022\n6:00 PM to 8:00 PM\nOnline Zoom Webinar \nRegistration is $17.55 per household.   To register and find more details visit https://ws072122.eventbrite.com/ or email terry.koper@wsu.edu or call 564-397-5729. \nClark County\, WA –   Do you have a gravity-fed septic system? Did you know Clark County requires you to have your gravity-fed septic system inspected every 3 years? Coming up July 21st\, you can join an online webinar that will allow you to inspect the system yourself instead of hiring a professional to do it for you. The workshop is taught by Clark County Public Health and will teach participants how to inspect their septic systems and safely maintain their well water. Completing the workshop and a short exam will certify participants to self-inspect their own septic system every other time. \nHaving your septic system inspected by a professional\, costs around $100. You can save money by getting certified to self-inspect your system in our class which costs $17.55\, saving homeowners money.  “Getting certified is also a good long-term investment and participants will learn how to spot problems faster so they can have them fixed rather than looking at a costly system replacement”\, says Terry Koper\, Small Acreage Program Coordinator. \nThe Small Acreage Program\, co-sponsored by Washington State University Clark County Extension and Clark County Public Works Clean Water\, will provide information\, handouts\, and answer landowners’ questions at the workshop. \nRegistration is $17.55 per household.   To register and find more details visit https://ws072122.eventbrite.com/ or email terry.koper@wsu.edu or call 564-397-5729. \nWSU Extension programs and employment are available to all without discrimination.

Did you know Clark County requires you to have your conventional gravity-fed septic system inspected every 3 years? Attending this Well and Septic Workshop will allow you to inspect the system yourself every-other time\, instead of hiring a professional to do it for you. This can save you money. Having your septic system inspected by a professional often costs more than $100. You can save money by getting certified to self-inspect your system in our class which costs $17.85\, saving homeowners money. Completing the workshop and a short exam will certify participants to self-inspect their own septic system every–other-time.  \nThe workshop is taught by Clark County Public Health and will teach participants how to maintain and inspect their septic systems and safely maintain their well water. “Getting self-inspection certified is also a good long-term investment and participants will learn how to spot problems faster so they can have them fixed rather than looking at a costly system replacement”\, says Terry Koper\, Small Acreage Program Coordinator.  \nThis workshop is hosted by the Small Acreage Program of Washington State University Clark County Extension with support from Clark County Public Works Clean Water.
