The Need for Septic System Replacement
A failing septic system can back up wastewater into businesses and homes, posing serious health risks. Untreated wastewater discharge can contaminate surface water and drinking water resources, presenting significant health hazards, especially to children who may come into contact with dangerous bacteria and viruses. To address this issue, the SRLP offers affordable loan options to homeowners to help them overcome the unexpected financial burden of septic system replacement.
Program Funding and Management
The Michigan Legislature has allocated $35 million to EGLE’s Onsite Wastewater Management Unit to develop and implement this statewide program. EGLE has partnered with Michigan Saves to develop and manage the SRLP, ensuring the program adheres to EGLE's program minimum standards and that supported septic systems are evaluated, designed, and installed to protect both public and environmental health.
“Michigan Saves is honored to be selected to manage the Septic Replacement Loan Program in collaboration with our partners at EGLE,” said Chanell Scott Contreras, president and CEO of Michigan Saves. “With the launch of income-qualified loans, we’re ensuring the process of replacing failing septic systems becomes more equitable, providing financial support where it's needed most and leveling the playing field for all Michigan families.”
Loan Program Details
The SRLP is divided into two tiers:
Tier One: Income-based financing with loans up to $30,000 per project.
Tier Two: Market-based loans with loans up to $50,000 per project.
Rates, terms, and loan amounts will vary. To be eligible, septic systems must be permitted by the local health department in accordance with EGLE’s program minimum standards and installed by a Michigan Saves authorized septic installation contractor.
