A walk through the new Michigan Septic Replacement Loan Program-

The Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), has partnered with Michigan Saves to provide low-interest financing to Michigan homeowners for the replacement of failing or near-failing septic systems. With the Septic Replacement Loan Program (SRLP), homeowners work with an authorized septic installation contractor for needed repairs and replacement. Loans will range from $1,000 to $50,000 per project, and actual rates, terms, and loan amounts will vary. 

On June 25th, 2024 WasteWater Education hosted a free online Zoom seminar with Pat O’Boyle, Director of Business Development at Michigan Saves, and Anne Mitchell with EGLE. Anne is the program manager and a wealth of knowledge in this subject matter. They walked participants through the process of qualifications and application criteria. You can view the recording here.

For more information on how to apply for a septic replacement loan, or for contractors interested in becoming an authorized installer, see the Michigan Saves site

As this has become a lengthy and convoluted conversation we have created a hierarchy of pages in the order information was released. See the Drop Down Menu above.
