Petoskey Public Library Classroom and ZOOM.

Did you know that Michigan is the ONLY state without statewide regulations to prevent septic systems from polluting our waters?  The State of Michigan estimates that roughly half of its rivers and streams exceed the safety standard for concentrations of E. coli bacteria, which is an indication of fecal pollution in the water. 

Michigan’s fresh waters and the health of its communities are dependent on having properly working septic systems! 

The League of Women Voters Northern Lower Michigan in partnership with the Petoskey District Library will present a public forum on septic system problems and solutions. Two local experts in septic regulation and health implications of septic pollution will provide information on Michigan’s situation and current efforts to reduce septic system pollution.  

All LWVNLM members will be sent the link several days prior to the public forum. Please register here for the ZOOM link or to attend in person.
