All About Septic Systems Workshop

Please RSVP to Christine O’Brien at (828) 476-4667, ext. 1 or christine@haywoodwaterways.org.

Haywood Waterways Association and the Haywood County Environmental Health Department are hosting a workshop about septic systems. The event is Tuesday, November 14th from 5:30 pm to 7:00 pm at the Haywood County Agricultural Service Center, 589 Raccoon Road, Waynesville.

Septic systems are efficient but must be maintained for proper treatment of wastewater from toilets, washing machines, dishwashers, and showers. If not, failures can occur and if the system is near a river, stream, or lake, untreated wastewater can make its way into the waterway causing risks to human health and the environment.

Staff will be on hand to discuss everything there is to know about septic systems - how they work, what are the common problems, what are the solutions, and what financial help is available for homeowners having problems. Light refreshments will be provided. The event is free. Please RSVP to Christine O’Brien at (828) 476-4667, ext. 1 or christine@haywoodwaterways.org.
