New York Gov. Kathy Hochul signed legislation making it more affordable to install or upgrade septic systems, multiple media outlets reported. New York added $30 million to its State Septic System Replacement Fund Program, with the goal of helping property owners replace or upgrade failing septic systems. This is the fifth round of funding for the program.
Property owners can apply for up to $10,000 or 50% of the cost to install a conventional septic system. In addition, they can apply for up to $25,000 or 75% of the cost of an enhanced septic system. The reimbursement program prioritizes septic systems
