Low Risk On Site Sewage System Inspection/Evaluation Demonstration Class

The class starts at 9:30 a.m. and ends near 1:00 p.m.

Prerequisites:  Must have attended a Septics 101 class and be a homeowner with a gravity, pump to gravity or conventional pressure on site sewage system (low risk system).

In addition the septic system must have a permit on file, and the septic system cannot be adjacent to a marine shoreline. Homeowner’s with pump systems will likely need additional training in order to do their own inspections. It is recommended that anyone with a pump system have it inspected by a Department certified O&M provider first.

Pre-registration required due to limited vanpool space.

(We will not go into a septic tank!) 

 Class size limited to 20.

To register or further information contact the Health Department at 360-336-9380.

We will meet at Anderson’s General Store, 7885 Guemes Island Road at 9:30 a.m..  We will van pool to three or four sites and return in the early afternoon.  Dress for the weather, bring a snack or sack lunch, a pencil or pen, a pad and a clipboard if you wish to take notes. Latex or vinyl gloves and safety glasses will be provided for those who wish to judge the sludge!
