Frederick County’s
Office of Sustainability and Environmental Resources (OSER) is launching the
2018 Septic Pump-Out Rebate Program to encourage property owners to have their
septic systems pumped out every five years. Regular pumping of septic systems
every five years maintains the 
effectiveness and longevity of systems
and reduces nutrient leaching over time.
“Frederick County is excited about implementing this new
program,” said County Executive Jan Gardner. “It is important to inform our
residents about the things they can do at home to protect water quality. This
rebate will provide incentive to do so while also saving them money on pump-out
services and system maintenance.”
