Attention all Homeowners' with Septic Systems 

New septic system guidelines take effect July 1st, 2007. The State of Vermont will require a more critical review (i.e. permits) of anyone making changes to a septic system.  The Shaftsbury Economic Development is studying this issue in an effort to better inform Shaftsbury residents. For more information on better maintaining your septic system, click on the following publications from the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
