Free septic classes set for Sequim
SEQUIM — Clallam County Environmental Health will offer free septic training classes Tuesday, May 16, and Wednesday, June 7.
The class, titled “Septic 101” is an introductory class for those interested in learning more about septic systems.
Both classes will be held from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. at the Dungeness River Audubon Center in Railroad Bridge Park, located at 2151 W. Hendrickson Road.
This class is a prerequisite for Septic 201 and on its own does not result in certification.
Septic 201, a “Do-It-Yourself Self-Inspection” class, provides an overview of the what, why and how of safely inspecting a septic system and includes an instructional video, a brief demonstration and a short exam.
Not all septic systems are eligible for homeowner inspection, and systems located in the Marine Recovery Area — between Bagley Creek watershed and the eastern county boundary — must have an initial inspection by a licensed septic inspector, according to a news release.
Preregistration for classes is required.
To register, visit www.clallam.net/septic or phone the environmental health office at 360-417-2506.
