Last week, Hurricane Ian ripped through Florida, dumping and causing historic flooding. While many in the state have a long road to recovery ahead, many Floridians are beginning to clean-up storm damage.
Was your private well or septic system flooded or impacted by the storm? Do you know how to properly care for these after potential contamination or overflow? IFAS is here to help.
We’ve created two YouTube videos on how to care for private wells and septic systems after storms. We hope these videos can help Floridians understand how to properly care for their at-home water systems as we recover from Hurricane Ian:
- Private Well Care Before and After Storms – Florida Well Owner Network Webinar Series
- Septic System Care Before and After Storms – Florida Well Owner Network Webinar Series
