Tuscarawas County Health Department Receives Funding from Ohio EPA for Home Septic Systems
 
Homeowners in Tuscarawas County can repair or replace septic systems with funding from Ohio EPA, who awarded a $150,000 loan to the County in January March 2020.   This loan is principal forgiveness and does not require repayment.
 
This program initiative will improve the quality of life for low-income residents by repairing or replacing failing home sewage treatment systems at an affordable cost. In addition to addressing potential health concerns, local water quality will benefit from the improvements.  Funding can also be used to assist homeowners that need to connect to an existing sanitary sewer and properly abandon their STS. 


Who is eligible?
The following criteria must be met:
  • The gross household income must meet the program criteria (see application below 
  • The sewage system must be failing and verified by TCHD
  • The applicant must be the homeowner
  • Property taxes must be current
  • Rental property, new-build homes and homes advertised for sale are not eligible
 
How homeowners will be selected:
  • Applications will be selected based on the financial need and the severity of the sewage system failure
  • The severity of the failure will be the primary factor followed by financial need
  • The order of the receipt of the applications will be considered as a final factor
