The Septic Maintenance Reimbursement Program provides funding to eligible residents of Lake and Flathead counties to offset the costs of septic maintenance. The purpose of this reimbursement program is to prevent pollution of surface waters in the Flathead Basin from septic systems by encouraging and assisting residents to maintain their systems. Septic maintenance can be costly. To make this important task more affordable, 50% reimbursement (up to $200/septic system) is available for septic pumping.
