This week, OC San is shining a spotlight on Septic Smart Week, dedicated to helping homeowners preserve their septic systems. Regular maintenance is key—homeowners with on-site septic tanks should have their systems serviced and flushed every 3-5 years.

To ensure your system stays in top shape, remember the 3 P’s: Pee, Poop, and (toilet) Paper. Avoid flushing anything else to prevent potential issues. For more tips on safe flushing practices, visit our website at ocsan.gov/What2Flush
