(WLUC) - The Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy is continuing its Septic Replacement Loan Program this year. It looks to provide homeowners with a way to replace their septic system before it fails. This is the second year EGLE has held this program.Septic Replacement Loan Program Manager Anne Mitchell says normal replacement of a septic system can cost as much as a new car, upwards of $30,000 or more. This loan program sees homeowners who are accepted get into a 10-year loan with a baseline 1% interest rate. Interest rates depend on household income, with higher earners receiving up to 6% interest. Mitchell says failure of a septic system can become very dangerous. “Raw sewage coming into the home, bubbling into the yard, running into our surface water bodies, it’s potentially a risk to public and environmental health,” Mitchell said. “It can make people really sick, it can pollute our waterways and it can be a safety hazard if you have a tank that’s collapsing or crumbling.” Mitchell says about 50% of new homes being built rely on a septic system, with there already being 1.3 million septic systems used for homes statewide.To find out how you can sign up for this program or to learn more about it, click here.
