Improving water quality starts at home

Septic Management

Ground water is the inflow to Tims Ford lake. That ground water comes from our homes, yards, farms, and yes – our septic systems! 
Making sure your septic tank is properly maintained and regularly emptied is probably the most important thing that we can do to improve the quality of the water in the lake. 
In addition to routine septic tank maintenance, you can use septic system treatments to maintain a healthy septic system. Simply flush down the toilet every 1-2 months, and you will reduce chance of septic overspill.
