Credit Valley Conservation (CVC) invites rural landowners to attend the Septic Social Workshop on October 5, 2024, from 9 to 11 a.m. at a local property in Alton.
“A failing septic system is costly, inconvenient and poses dangers to your drinking water,” said Lisa Brusse, Manager, Landowner Engagement and Stewardship, Credit Valley Conservation. “Rural landowners are encouraged to attend our workshop to learn how to prevent septic system problems and protect groundwater quality.”
Workshop attendees will get to see the process of a live septic pump out and learn:
- How septic systems work
- The health risks of wastewater
- Preventative maintenance and troubleshooting
- Funding opportunities
CVC’s stewardship coordinator, Karen Buckle, and wastewater expert, Katerine Rentsch will be onsite to answer your questions.
Registration is required by October 3 at cvc.ca/RuralEvents. The event will take place rain or shine.
