Wakulla County Septic Upgrade Incentive Program - Based on the results of a Wastewater Feasibility Analysis performed by Wakulla County, the County has developed a Septic Upgrade Incentive Program to encourage homeowners to voluntarily remediate existing conventional Onsite Sewage Treatment and Disposal Systems (OSTDS) to include nitrogen reducing enhancements. Where connection to sewer is not indicated by the Feasibility Analysis, the incentive program is intended to offset a portion of homeowner costs by providing certified septic system installers and licensed plumbers with up to $7,000.00 for the installation of enhanced nitrogen-reducing features to existing targeted areas within the County that are pre-approved by the Wakulla County Utility Department. Any costs over and above the $7,000 Grant Funds must be paid for by the homeowner.

 

Wakulla County Sewer Connection Incentive Program - Based on the results of the Wastewater Feasibility Analysis performed by Wakulla County the County has developed a Sewer Connection Incentive Program to encourage up to 50 homeowners to voluntarily connect to central sewer where currently available. Where connection is indicated by the Feasibility Analysis, the incentive program is intended to offset a portion of homeowner costs by providing homeowners up to $7,000 and licensed plumbers for the connection of an existing home to central sewer located in targeted areas within the County that are pre-approved by the Department. Part of the $7,000 will pay for the $3,850 Access Fee and the remainder will offset the remaining costs. Any costs over and above the $7,000 Grant Funds will be paid for by the homeowner.

Work Performance - All work will be bid individually and awarded to the lowest bidder and performed by Licensed Plumbers/Licensed Septic Contractors. The contract will be between the Homeowner and the Contractor. Any costs over and above the $7,000 Grant Funds will be paid for by the homeowner.
