Roosevelt Ridge Homeowners Association

Workshops focus on septic-system care, maintenance.

Snohomish County will host four septic-care workshops for residents near Maltby and Snohomish this October and November at the dates and locations provided below.

The key objective of the workshops is to improve residents’ septic systems, which can save homeowners money while protecting drinking-water supplies, public health and surface-water quality in creeks, lakes and rivers.

Teri King, a septic system expert from the University of Washington’s SeaGrant program, will offer a suite of everyday maintenance tips to help maximize a septic system’s life and prevent failure.

Attendees will receive an education packet and a free septic system care kit, including a sink strainer, faucet aerators, toilet leak test dye strips, a low-flow showerhead and more – a more-than-$25 value. Attendees also will be entered to win a free septic system inspection as a door prize.

Septic care workshops will be held on the following dates, times and locations:

Saturday, Oct. 30, 9 a.m.-noon
Maltby Community Club
8711 206th St. SE, Snohomish

Thursday, Nov. 11, 6:30-9:30 pm
Snohomish Fire & Rescue
1525 Ave. D, Snohomish

The workshops are being offered as a part of Snohomish County’s Septic Care Outreach Program, a partnership of Snohomish County, the city of Snohomish, Snohomish Health District, WSU Extension-Snohomish County and the Snohomish County PUD. The workshops are funded by a grant from the Washington State Department of Ecology Centennial Clean Water Fund.

To register for any of the above workshops, contact Stef Frenzl at stef.frenzl@snoco.org or call 425-388-6466.
