Description
The Province Lake Association and Acton Wakefield Watersheds Alliance (AWWA) run this septic system cost-share replacement program with support from a New Hampshire Section 319 grant. It is part of a broader effort to protect Province Lake’s water quality. AWWA obtains grants on behalf of local lake associations and helps implement lake projects.
The program directs assistance toward replacing septic systems that affect Province Lake. Its focus is on old and undersized systems, which the local partners identify as a major source of phosphorus entering the lake. Reducing that contribution is the purpose of the replacement effort.
