Did you know 45 per cent of Nova Scotians rely on a septic system? That’s why Septic Awareness Week (September 15 to 19, 2025) is the perfect time to learn how to maintain your system and about Victoria County’s lending program that helps homeowners upgrade their septic system.
If you’re a resident of Victoria County, you may be eligible for the Water Supply/Septic Upgrade Lending Program. It’s designed to help homeowners upgrade or replace their water or septic systems through low-interest financing.
The program is open to Victoria County property owners on a first come, first served basis until annual funding is allocated. Approved applicants must sign a Financing Agreement outlining the responsibilities.
Learn more by reviewing the official bylaw here: Victoria County Water Supply/Septic Upgrade Bylaw.
