Septic Systems Information

Most authorities suggest to have your septic system pumped out at least every three years. But that could vary quite a bit, depending on how many people your system needs to support, water usage habits and other factors.

Pump-Out Rebates

Our Aquatic Tax District provides partial reimbursement for septic clean-out rebates of 50% up to $350 per clean out, available once per year for riparian property owners-- island and mainland property owners, even if they are not members of the Lake Moraine Association. To reduce costs, the Lake Moraine Association strongly encourages island property owners to group with other island property owners to have their systems pumped.​

​

Electric/Gas/Compost Toilet Rebates

Our Aquatic Tax District provides partial reimbursement for modern, alternative septic control systems (chemical/incineration/composting toilets and septic tanks) of 30% of the cost of a new or updated septic system for an owner-occupied property up to $1500. This increased rebate includes labor costs and is valid for any projects completed between 01/01/2025 and 12/31/2027. After 2027, the amounts are subject to change by the Lake Moraine Association Board of Directors.
