Our Aquatic Tax District provides partial reimbursement for septic tank and holding tank pump-outs riparian owners. After your system has been pumped out and the bill paid, send a copy of the bill to Craig Lawson, 19 Summit St, Norwich NY  13815.

 

Septic clean-out rebates are 50% up to $350 per clean out, available once per year for everyone, island and mainland property owners. The Lake Moraine Association strongly suggests that island property owners group together with others to reduce the expenses charged by the septic company.
