Gov. Kathy Hochul signed a new septic bill that would provide a $25,000 grant to people with old and polluting cesspools.
The goal is to make new and improved septic systems affordable to the public.
“These septic systems are polluting our beaches, our bays with toxic tides and low oxygen, which is killing fish and shellfish. We can have a better future, we deserve a better future, and this bill allows for a better future,” said Adrienne Esposito, of Citizens Campaign For the Environment.
Suffolk County residents can get an additional $10,000 from the county to help cover the cost of a new septic system.
