An additional $2 million in New York State Environmental Facilities Corporation (EFC) funding was approved to help residents and small business owners upgrade and modernize their septic systems.

“I encourage every property owner with a traditional septic system to take advantage of this opportunity while funds are still available.”
– Leg. DeRiggi-Whitton

Nassau homeowners and small businesses that discharge less than 1,000 gallons a day of wastewater are eligible to receive up to $20,000 in grants toward the installation of nitrogen-reducing septic systems through Nassau County’s S.E.P.T.I.C. (Septic Environmental Program to Improve Cleanliness) program.
The initiative is funded by NYS EFC resources and matching funds from the County’s American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) allotment. To date, Nassau County has allocated more than $7 million in ARPA funds toward this environmental initiative.
