Septic TankCurrently, there is no online tool for wastewater management, but the Local Environmental Protection Program (LEPP) helps local authorities develop plans to protect water quality. These plans includes county environmental codes focused on septic systems and wells, and also addresses broader issues like wastewater management, non point source pollution, landfill planning and public water supply protection. To learn more, visit KDHE's LEPP page. The EPA's SepticSmart programs educates homeowners about the proper system care and maintenance all year long. Proceed to SepticSmart educational materials. |
