Free – Septic System Repair & Replacement Program
We are not taking applications at this time
The Nueces River Authority received a federal grant from the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and administered by the Coastal Bend Bays & Estuaries Program to fund OSSF (septic system) repairs and replacements. This project will focus on implementation in colonia communities located in Jim Wells, Nueces and San Patricio Counties.
This is a bacteria reduction program in targeted watersheds to provide financial assistance to eligible property owners to repair or replace existing septic systems that are failing. A failing septic system may release bacteria into the ground and surface water causing bacterial contamination and possible illnesses to humans and animals.
This program offers free of charge to the property owner, on a first come-first-serve basis, septic system pump-out, inspection, repair, and/or replacement if recommended by the septic inspector.
