$100 Rebate for System Inspection
Regular septic system inspection helps ensure that your system is functioning properly and can help detect problems before they turn into larger and more costly repairs. Only full system inspections with an inspection report uploaded to our OnlineRME database by your service provider are eligible for an inspection rebate. Drainfield evaluations and service call charges are not eligible for rebates.
Do you live in Sunny Shores, Tulare, Spee-Bi-Dah, Tulalip Shores, or Priest Point? The Tulalip Tribes offers a reimbursement of up to $500 for septic system inspections for homeowners in these neighborhoods.

$100 Rebate for System Pumping
It is important to pump your system when recommended by a septic professional. If too much waste builds up in your system it won't treat your wastewater like it's supposed it, and sewage could back up into your household.
$50 Rebate per Riser Install with Lid (Max. 2 risers per household)
Risers provide easy access to the system for maintenance activities. If your septic system was installed after 1995, it should already have risers in place as they were required for systems built after this time. If you already have risers and need a new riser lid because yours is damaged, you can use your riser rebate for the replacement cost.
Up to $200 Rebate for Minor Repairs:
Fixing smaller problems with your system can help avoid major issues down the road. Minor repairs eligible for a rebate include:
- Baffle replacement or repair
- Pump replacement or repair
- D-box replacement or repair
- Fixing or replacing a cracked transport line
- Effluent filter installation
- Switching to a different lateral in a step down system
- Repair or replacement of alarm system, timer, control panel, or other electrical equipment
- Gallon meter installation or repair
- Charcoal filter installation or replacement
- Headworks replacement or repair
- Correction of a settled transport line
You cannot get a minor repair rebate for: Mainline/drainfield jetting, stress tests, or cleaning processes (like cleaning a filter). New riser lids are not redeemable under the minor repair rebate, but can be applied for under riser rebates.
Funding for rebates is currently available and is distributed on a first-come, first-served basis until all funding is exhausted.
