Onsite Sewer Assistance Program - Sewer Connection and Septic repair/replacement/decommissioning

Description

Washington County Office of Community Development and Clean Water Services have partnered in building a grant program to decommission, repair, replace or upgrade residential septic systems.  The program is offered to homeowners in Washington County within the Clean Water Services District, with a preference to assist low/moderate income homeowners.  The grant is for eligible homeowners who are on septic systems and reside within Clean Water Service's District. Washington County is soliciting qualified septic and sewer contractors to join our field of contractors.  This list of contractors will be provided to homeowners who will request bids for their project.  The homeowner will have the right to select their contractor for each specific job.  The homeowner may choose to ask County staff for assistance in the process. Grant amounts are from $5,000, up to $25,000.  If an estimate is over the grant amount, the homeowner will be responsible for anything over the grant award.  Contractors will be paid directly by Clean Water Services for the grant award portion after each project has been completed and all required documents (invoice, permits, etc.) have been submitted.
