Program Description

Event Details

  • The LWVGTA will present a panel discussion focused on the damage to our groundwater caused by leaking septic systems. Did you know that Michigan is the ONLY state without a statewide septic code? The program will take place on Tuesday, October 17, 2023, from 12:00 noon to 1:30 PM.

    Our lakes, streams, and groundwater are being contaminated by septic system failure. Ordinances regulating septic systems have been passed in several Michigan townships & counties including Leelanau County and Torch Lake Township (Antrim Co.) There are bills before the Michigan Legislature (HB4479) & (HB 4490) which propose to regulate them. It is important that we understand the relationship between our septic system use and our groundwater so we can protect our groundwater.
