Water Conservation

NPS Pollution - Reducing Sources

  • Homeowners can significantly reduce the volume of wastewater discharged to home septic systems and sewage treatment plants by conserving water.
  • Decreasing water usage can help prevent septic systems from overloading and contaminating ground water and surface water. (Seventy-five percent of drainfield failures are due to hydraulic overloading.)
