Are you a Tarrant County homeowner with a septic system? You are invited to attend a free clinic this month to gain basic understanding of the operation and maintenance activities of septic systems and to learn about grant opportunities for up to $8,000 to repair or replace a failing system.

The clinic is scheduled from 10 a.m. to noon on Thursday, Dec. 12, 2024, at the Chris W. Burkett Service Center, 620 S. Wisteria St., in Mansfield. The program is hosted by the Joe Pool Lake and Village Creek-Lake Arlington Watershed Partnership and Texas A&M AgriLife Research & Extension.

Arlington has more than 600 properties on some form of septic system, mostly in South Arlington.

In addition to having questions answered by Texas A&M AgriLife Extension wastewater specialists, attendees can learn about a grant program through the Trinity River Authority of Texas that focuses on replacing or repairing failing septic systems in the Joe Pool Lake and Village Creek-Lake Arlington Watershed.
