The Pennsylvania State University Extension is conducting a statewide survey of septic system owners (see below). Your help in completing and/or distributing this survey to community residents/customers would be a help in obtaining a representative sample size for the Extension’s study.
On-lot septic systems treat and dispose of wastewater from homes or buildings in most of rural Pennsylvania. They include typical septic tanks and drain fields, advanced treatment systems, holding tanks, cesspools, or any other on-lot system. Septic system owners or users are typically responsible for system care and maintenance.
This brief survey aims to understand owner/user practices related to septic system operation and maintenance across Pennsylvania. Ultimately, findings will be used to identify existing needs for septic system maintenance in Pennsylvania and to design future Extension programs on septic system and private water system care and maintenance.
