The DEP recently published a new guidance manual for homeowners with septic systems (A Homeowner's Manual For Septic Systems). By following the tips in the manual, homeowners can enhance the performance of their septic systems, extend the life of the system, and help protect terrestrial and aquatic resources. To get your copy, please call the DEP's Office of Maps and Publications at (609) 777-1038. There is no charge for the manual.
