Treating Sewage Adequately
Blue Earth County’s rural residents rely on septic systems to treat the wastewater generated in their homes and businesses.
The proper location, design, installation, use, and maintenance of a subsurface sewage treatment system (SSTS) protects the public health, safety, and general welfare. This is ensured by adequately treating sewage through filtration, soil absorption, and purification prior to releasing it back into the groundwater.
