Homeowners living near four Citrus County, Florida, bodies of water 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 Florida Department of Environmental Protection provided $3.9 million for an incentive program to help cover the cost of installation. 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
