Before shopping for that Thanksgiving turkey and those new bath towels for overnight vis- itors, people can make sure their septic systems are ready for the celebrations. The Mason County Extension of Washington State University and Mason County Public Health will present a free pre-holiday septic workshop from 6 to 8 p.m. on Monday, November 5, in the PUD 3 Auditorium, 307 West Cota Street in Shelton. The workshop is made possible by a grant from the Washington Department of Ecology. Those who attend can learn how septic systems work and how to make them ready for all the holiday ac- tion during the next few months. Entertaining increases water use and all that extra dishwater and toilet flushing can overload a septic system at a time when drainfields are already working in soils saturated by rain. Overuse is the main cause of costly sep- tic system failures and overuse may result from too many loads of laundry in one day or from a leaky toilet that can put an extra 800 gallons of water into a septic system in one day. Participants in the workshop will learn what their systems can handle and how to prevent holiday, overload. Organizers of the program make the point that some problems have very simple, inexpensive solutions. Partici- pants will learn how to inspect their systems, how to make those simple repairs and even where to buy the necessary parts. And although a failed septic system can be expensive, a new program is now available to pro- vide low-interest loans to many homeowners. Experts will ex- plain what homeowners can do themselves and when to call in the experts. Participants will also receive manuals hnd other refer- ence material to take home, in- eluding information on what to do and what not to do when property floods. There will be help for ho- meown(rs unsure of where their septic systems are or what kind they have. To register or get more informa- tion, call 427-9670 or 275-4467, Extension 680.
