Committee recognizes $300,000 in additional septic grant funding, approves budget amendment
Summary
County staff described septic replacement grants (typically up to $10,000 or 50% of replacement cost; up to $20,000 for certain nitrate-removing systems) and moved to amend the budget to record an additional $300,000 allocation; motion adopted and forwarded to Finance.
Staff explained the county’s septic replacement grant program that helps homeowners with failing systems pay up to $10,000 or 50% of replacement costs; for a small subset of systems that filter nitrates, the program allows up to $20,000 and staff said roughly three systems meet that criterion.
Committee members were told the county has remaining prior-year funds and was allocated an additional $300,000 for next year. A motion to amend the budget to recognize the $300,000 and forward the amendment to the Finance Committee was moved by Mr. Campbell, seconded by Mrs. Clary and Mr. Hahn, and adopted.
