Superior Septic Service, LLC, watches the news about septic services across the state and the nation. We’d like to keep your groundwater and septic tanks in Marysville from making headlines.

You might not think that something as ordinary as a septic tank would make the news – but over in Thurston County, septic tanks have become a serious concern. According to a news article that appeared on K5  November 2014, there are more than 17,000 septic tanks attached to development in Olympia, Turnwater and Lacey. These tanks are suspected of being the source of excess nitrogen in local groundwater. Several home owners have been given grant money to help them attach to a sewer main – a project that cost millions of dollars. If the home owners had needed to come up with the money on their own, the cost is estimated at $40,000 each. That’s an incredible amount of money – even just for the 128 homes that are listed as having received grants.

Not everyone can get a grant for this process. The grants in Thurston County are awarded according to location of the home – those in water protection areas get first priority – and upon financial need. That leaves a lot of families who live in homes with septic tanks in a financial limbo. Not many can easily come up with $40,000.
