Skagit County Septic Rebates: What Homeowners Need to Know
You may be eligible for annual septic rebates — we help ensure nothing is left on the table.
What Is the Savvy Septic Program?
The Savvy Septic Program is a voluntary, county-sponsored initiative designed to help homeowners understand, maintain, and protect their on-site septic systems — before small issues become costly failures.
Participating homeowners receive a comprehensive assessment of their system's current condition and learn what steps to take to keep it running efficiently and in compliance with Washington State regulations.

Protect the Skagit River & Farmlands
Skagit County's world-famous agricultural land and salmon-bearing Skagit River depend on clean groundwater. A failing septic system can contaminate your property and your neighbors' wells — the Savvy Septic Program helps prevent that.
Gain Peace of Mind
Many Skagit County homes sit on older systems with no maintenance history. The Savvy Septic assessment gives you a clear picture of your system's condition, risk level, and remaining useful life.
