SEQUIM — A free Septics 201 workshop will be offered at the Dungeness River Audubon Center from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. today.
This two-hour class at the center, 2151 W. Hendrickson Road, will provide homeowners with an overview of the what, why and how of safely inspecting a septic system.
Preregistration is required. Septics 101 is a prerequisite for this class.
The class will include an instructional video, a brief demonstration and a short exam.
Not all septic systems are eligible for homeowner inspection.
Must be inspected
Systems located in the Marine Recovery Area between Bagley Creek watershed and east to the county boundary must first be inspected by a licensed septic inspector.
Septic inspections are required by state law. Gravity septic systems should be inspected every three years; all other systems should be inspected annually. Pumping is not the same as an inspection.
