Nebraska

The Good Life includes good septic systems! That’s the reality for about 35% of Nebraska homes. From the western high plains to the eastern river valleys, Nebraskans are approaching wastewater management with the same no-nonsense practicality they bring to everything. It’s like having your own personal Cornhusker contribution to groundwater protection – perfect conversation material while watching the big game!

The Nebraska Department of Environment and Energy is like that experienced farmer who knows exactly when the conditions are right – they ensure every septic system is properly installed to protect the precious Ogallala Aquifer below. With standards as dependable as Nebraska football tradition, they safeguard the state’s water with heartland determination. Their guidance is as straight as Nebraska’s horizon: manage water usage wisely (that aquifer isn’t bottomless), be careful what enters your system (your septic tank isn’t a cornfield that simply absorbs everything), and maintain your system as diligently as you maintain your storm preparations – because in Nebraska, being a good steward of the land isn’t just neighborly, it’s the cornerstone of the good life they’re famous for!
