Join the Cannon River Watershed Joint Powers Organization as they host the fourth session of the virtual learning series Land to Lake Lectures. Did you know the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency estimates that one in five septic systems are failing in Minnesota? Jon Hammel and Trigg Capistrant-Kinney from Le Sueur County Environmental Services will present how failing septic systems can affect our groundwater, lakes, and rivers, and share tips on how to keep your septic system in top shape. They will discuss existing and past efforts by the county in conjunction with the CRWJPO to assist with bringing systems within the watershed into compliance. The sessions will be broadcast in cooperation with the University of Minnesota-Extension on Zoom.
The free webinar will be held on Tuesday, January 21, 2025, at 12:00 pm over the lunch hour. Register for the webinar at https://z.umn.edu/SepticSystem. The webinar will be video recorded and posted on the CRWJPO’s website at https://www.cannonriverwatershedmn.gov afterward for those who cannot attend.
The virtual learning sessions “Land to Lake Lectures” will continue throughout the winter and into the spring with a different topic each month over the lunch hour.
