Do you know exactly where your septic tank and leach field are located? Knowing the layout of your system can help prevent accidental damage from vehicles, construction, landscaping, or other heavy activity.

Keeping your septic system functioning properly is also an important part of protecting Chatham’s groundwater and waterways from excess nutrients and pollution.

Support Land Protection

Protecting Chatham’s waterways starts with protecting the land around them. Conserved open spaces help preserve wildlife habitat, protect wetlands, reduce runoff, and maintain the natural landscapes that make Chatham special.

This Tuesday Tip, consider learning more about or supporting local land conservation efforts. Protecting our land and protecting our water go hand in hand.

Take the Chatham H2O Pledge and help keep our community’s waters clean for generations to come!
