Local Recycling And Disposal Resources

Septic and well System Resources

Septic and well system failures risk public health, ground and surface water quality, and can become a financial burden on the owner.  Learn more at EGLE's and EPA's Septic Smart websites.

 

Ingham County's Point of Sale Ordinance requires a well and septic inspection and that corrective action is taken before ownership of the home is transferred. Learn more here, or contact Ingham County Health Department.
