The Board of Health Office, offers residents of this community a Septic Betterment Loan Program for those residents whom are not selling their properties and who's septic systems are in failure. The loan is offered at 2% and can be spread over a 5, 10,15 or 20 year period. The advantage of this program is that there is a minimal cost to your contractors for a deposit, but all monies involved in replacing your system can be paid by this program as well as the homeowner can be reimbursed for the out of pocket expenses. The payment of this loan is paid on with your quarterly taxes and is printed on your tax bill. The homeowner is also eligible for a Tax Credit.
