Septic Dye Testing Page
The ELPOI embarked on a project in 1999 to test residents septic systems for evidence of failure. This was done with the intent to counter arguments that failing septic systems were loading the lake with nutrients. A department of state grant provided the funding to complete the project, along with $7,500 dollars in in kind services from the town of Ticonderoga.
