Your septic system plays a huge role in protecting your well water. Join us in celebrating SepticSmart Week (Sept. 15-19), a national campaign promoting proper septic care.
Top tips for well owners with septic systems:
• Never flush wipes—even if labeled “flushable.”
• Space out water use to prevent overload.
• Inspect and pump your tank every 3–5 years.
• Make sure your septic is at least 50 feet from your well. Local rules may vary. Always check with your health department.
