Understand and Protect Your Water
Supply and Treatment Systems
Wells, springs, and cisterns supply water to about
25% of Cumberland County homes, and more in
suburban and rural areas. Many residents use on-lot
septic systems to treat and dispose of wastewater.
This workshop will provide information on protecting,
testing, and treating private water supplies. We will
discuss septic system inspection and maintenance.
Learn how to protect your health, your property, and
our shared ground and surface water resources.
