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 $18.00\, 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.
