California

Surf’s up, and so is your septic tank responsibility! That’s the lifestyle for approximately 10% of Golden State homeowners. From the redwood forests to the sun-kissed beaches, California’s diverse landscapes mean septic systems are as varied as its population. It’s like having your own environmental statement piece buried in your yard – totally on-brand for eco-conscious Californians!

The California State Water Resources Control Board is like that meticulous film director who insists on multiple takes – they want everything perfect when it comes to septic systems. With water quality regulations stricter than Hollywood beauty standards, they ensure every system protects California’s precious groundwater resources. Their guidance is as straightforward as a San Diego freeway (outside of rush hour): conserve water (drought is always around the corner), be mindful of what you flush (your septic system isn’t part of Silicon Valley innovation), and maintain your system regularly – because environmental protection is one trend that never goes out of style in California!
