Homeowners living near four waterbodies in Citrus County, Florida, are subject to new septic regulations as of Dec. 15, 2025, the Citrus County Chronicle reported. Homes in the Basin Management Action Plan areas of Kings Bay, Crystal River, Homosassa and Chassahowitzka Springs must install nitrogen-reducing septic systems when upgrading their septic system.

The Citrus County Septic Upgrade Incentive Program will reimburse homeowners up to $7,000. The program ends on March 31, 2027, or when the funding runs out.For more information about
