Across the country, local environmental groups, health departments, and governments face challenges posed by improperly maintained and failing septic systems. EPA assists these local agencies in promoting homeowner education and awareness.
The EPA has an Outreach Toolkit that contains materials targeted to homeowners that can be downloaded and printed. These materials show how many organizations have launched successful homeowner education programs. Go to EPA's Septic System website for the Outreach Toolkit and more.
