Septic Systems Maybe Damaged by Flooding
MONTPELIER, Vt. (WCAX)
Experts are asking Vermonters to check their septic systems, even if they think they’re working, because flooding may have caused some damage. Septic issues can cause drinking water contamination and over-flooded systems can cause untreated wastewater to back up into the house. Anyone having septic issues can call 211 and report damages and take photos of the issues to connect with FEMA. Also, the Department of Health can provide a free drinking water test kit to ensure your water isn’t contaminated from your septic system.
