​Septic Tank Replacement Grants  Available For Homes In Two Stone County Watersheds

​May 06, 2020
PictureIf your home lies within one of either of these watersheds and your septic tank needs to be replaced, grant assistance may be available.
James River Basin Partnership, Ozarks Water Watch, and Ozarks Environmental and Water Resources Institute are working together to complete a James River Watershed Management Plan through a Clean Water Act grant from the Department of Natural Resources. Part of this process includes a “Demonstration Project” in the watershed that will have a positive impact on the water quality.

Excessive nutrient inputs from failing septic systems have long been recognized as a water quality issue in the Upper White River watershed so Ozarks Water Watch has implemented a demonstration project to replace at least 5 failing septic systems in the Crane Creek and Lower James River watersheds. OWW has replaced 4 systems to date and has limited grant funds to replace another failing septic system! The amount of the grant is determined by the cost of the system and the household income of the homeowner, with the greater amount going to lower income households. The range of grant percentage is 50% up to 90%. This grant ends on December 31st, 2020.

Interested homeowners should contact Ozarks Water Watch immediately to determine eligibility and would need to follow the application process in order to receive the grant. The homeowner would also need to pay the installer for the portion of the septic installation that is not covered by the grant.

If you are interested in learning more, contact Carin Love at 417-739-5001 or carin@ozarkswaterwatch.org.
