Septic Systems

septic rehabilitation and replacement This program provides funding, some $13.6 million from 1997 to 2002 and another $15 million committed for 2003 to 2008, to repair or replace failing septics in the Catskill/Delaware watershed, which has a total of 22,000 septic systems. more >

septic maintenance In the 2002 Filtration Avoidance Determination, the City has included a new Septic Maintenance Program for the Catskill/Delaware watershed. This is important for water quality protection because routine septic maintenance prevents groundwater pollution and surface effluent. The cost of maintaining a septic – primarily routine pumping – is minimal, particularly when compared to the effort and expense of repairing or replacing a failed system. The City will provide $1.5 million over 10 years for the program, which will be managed by the Catskill Watershed Corporation. more >
