In this episode of the Montgomery County Department of Permitting Services (DPS) Podcast, host Gail Lucas and DPS Well and Septic Section Manager Heidi Benham discuss septic systems in advance of Septic Smart Week (Sept. 18-22). Their informative discussion includes what every property owner needs to know about their septic system (there are three things!), how important it is to take care of a septic system, and what should not go down the drain! In addition to these tips and resources, the podcast fields a listener’s question about the public right-of-way. Got an idea or question for a future podcast?
