One of the biggest expenses a homeowner may have to deal with is repairing or replacing their septic system. If you don't know what that is, don't worry about it or have sleepless nights. If you do know, be prepared because Oneida County offers a lot of cash to help with repairing or replacing the system.
Oneida County Executive Anthony Picente announced a new round of grants Thursday that will provide home and business owners with money to significantly offset the cost of repairing or replacing a septic tank or septic system. Picente says:
Oneida County is committed to the health and safety of our residents and businesses. This wastewater reimbursement program is an important step in protecting our environment and supporting the long-term sustainability of our communities. I encourage all eligible applicants to immediately apply for this excellent opportunity.
The grants come from the Oneida County Health Department, which is currently accepting applications for 50% reimbursement up to $10,000 to repair or replace residential and commercial septic systems. However, there are very specific criteria for eligibility. The county says, “Awarding is based on the sites' susceptibility to contamination, known water quality issues and other criteria.”
To be eligible, the property must be within 250 feet of the following bodies of water.
• Barker/Eli Creek and tributaries
• Beaver Brook and tributaries
• Big Brook and tributaries
• Delta reservoir
• East Branch Fish Creek, lower, small tributary
• East Branch Fish Creek, upper, small tributary
• East Branch of the Mohawk River and tributaries
• Echo Lake/North Pond
• Fall Brook and tributaries
• Florence Creek, headwaters and tributaries
• Hinckley Reservoir
• Lansing Kill and tributaries
• Smaller tributaries to Hinckley Reservoir
• Mohawk River, upper and smaller tributaries
• Mohawk River, headwaters and tributaries
• Rome Reservoir
• Stringer Brook and tributaries
• Inflow of the Delta Reservoir
• Tributary of Sauquoit Creek, upper reaches
• Upper Murray Brook, tributary of Oneida Lake
• White Creek, headwaters and tributaries
This program will be around for a while. In fact, it is scheduled to be available until March 31, 2027, or until the $200,000 in available funds are exhausted. A map of eligible properties can be found here. Applications can be found here.
