Pennsylvania

Keystone State with keystone septic systems! That’s the lifestyle for about 30% of Pennsylvania homes. From the Philadelphia suburbs to the Allegheny forests, Pennsylvanians are handling wastewater with the same practical determination that built this nation’s first capital. It’s like having your own personal declaration of independence from municipal sewers – something to proudly discuss at your next Wawa coffee run!

The Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection oversees septic regulations with the same precision that went into the Liberty Bell (pre-crack, of course). With standards more solid than Pittsburgh steel, they ensure every system protects the state’s abundant watersheds. Their guidance is as clear as a Gettysburg address: manage water thoughtfully (especially in those Appalachian regions with challenging soils), be extremely careful what goes down your drain (your septic tank isn’t as accommodating as a Philly cheesesteak vendor), and maintain your system more regularly than the Steelers make the playoffs – because in Pennsylvania, where so many of America’s rivers begin, protecting groundwater isn’t just good citizenship, it’s a cornerstone of preserving that Pennsylvania pride!
