Wakulla County Septic Upgrade Incentive Program
 
Based on the results of a Wastewater Feasibility Analysis performed by Wakulla County, the County has developed a Septic Upgrade Incentive Program to encourage homeowners to voluntarily remediate existing conventional Onsite Sewage Treatment and Disposal Systems (OSTDS) to include nitrogen-reducing enhancements. The incentive program is intended to offset a portion of homeowner costs by providing certified septic system installers and licensed plumbers with up to $7,000.00 for the installation of enhanced nitrogen-reducing features to existing targeted areas within the County that are pre-approved by the Wakulla County Utility Department. Any costs over and above the $7,000 Grant Funds must be paid for by the homeowner.
 
Work Performance
 
All work will be bid individually and awarded to the lowest bidder and performed by Licensed Plumbers/ Licensed Septic Contractors.  The contract will be between the Homeowner and the Contractor. Any costs over and above the $7,000 Grant Funds will be paid for by the homeowner.
