On-site Septic System Operation & Maintenance
Your septic system’s health
depends on you!

  • Protect the life of your septic system
  • Protect the environment
  • Protect your health, your investment, and your property
 
“Maintenance” means the actions necessary to keep your septic system functioning. Washington’s state code places the responsibility on the owner to “assure a complete evaluation of the system components”. The frequency of maintenance and who can perform the maintenance are based on system type.

Mason County Public Health has information about Operating and Maintaining your septic system. You can also request a copy of your septic records. The following links will provide you with information about how your septic system works and what you can do to prolong its life
