We fund two categories of septic maintenance/repair within Clark County:

• Septic Inspections, Pumping, and Minor Repairs - Reimbursement up to $130 for septic inspections and $1,000 for pumping or minor repairs (defined as work within the existing septic infrastructure that does not require digging beyond accessing the system). Pumping and/or minor repairs must be indicated as necessary on an inspection report dated within the last 3 months to be eligible for reimbursement.
• Examples of eligible services include:
• System control repair/replacement
• Riser installations
• Pump repair/replacement
• Other internal component replacements (baffles, filters, etc.)
• Repair/replacement of distribution box
• Repair of existing pipe/lines
• Tank repair (when no digging beyond system access is required)
• Design fees (when accompanied by an inspection report indicating a major system failure)
• Septic work must be completed by a Clark County Public Health certified business.
• Paid invoices must be submitted within 3 months of the date of service to be considered for reimbursement.
• Applicants who have previously received Poop Smart Clark reimbursements below $130 for inspections and $1,000 for pumping or minor repairs may apply for additional reimbursements up to the amount of their remaining unclaimed funds, dependent on available funding.
• Need a direct payment to your contractor? Give us a call for more information about this option.
• Major Septic Repair/Replacement - Up to $20,000 per system, depending on financial eligibility, for major septic system repairs or replacements (defined as work outside of the existing septic infrastructure). An inspection report indicating a major system failure is required for eligibility. This funding is prioritized for applicants who demonstrate financial need and meet environmental criteria.
• IMPORTANT: This program requires an additional 2-3 month review process before work can begin. If any septic work is done prior to approval, the entire project will be ineligible for reimbursement.
• Examples of eligible services include:
• Septic/pump tank replacement
• Drain field replacement
• Drain field line replacement
• Connection to sewer
• Septic work must be completed by a Clark County Public Health certified business.
• Applications for major septic repair/replacement funding are reviewed on the first Monday of every month while funding is available. The next review date is February 3, 2025. Sign up here to indicate interest in the program. We will email you with additional information.
• For urgent funding needs, please contact a different program via the Clark County Public Health financial resources page.
