The Chesterton
Stormwater Management Board wants to put SepticSmart Week on the town’s
calendar.
In a short meeting
Monday night, members voted unanimously to endorse a proclamation which
would make Sept. 18-22 SepticSmart Week in Chesterton.
SepticSmart Week is
an initiative of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency aiming to educate
homeowners and communities on the proper care and maintenance of septic
systems.
The core messages
of SepticSmart Week:
* Think at the
sink.
* Don’t overload
the commode.
* Shield your
field.
* Test your
drinking water well.
