ECOSEPTIC TAKES CLEAN WATER SERIOUSLY
We donate 5% of all profits to Save The Sound, a group working to stop pollution of local groundwater as well as preserve and restore natural fish and wildlife habitat in the Long Island Sound area.
We want to work alongside Save the Sound and other like-minded organizations to maintain “high quality drinking water and protect river and stream ecology”

The most important way to help is to maintain or replace your own septic system.
You can also help us by telling your friends how important it is to keep up with septic maintenance. We post a lot of helpful things on our Facebook account.
