SUMMARY:Healthy Septics\, Healthy Streams\, & Healthy Lake
DESCRIPTION:The Deep Creek Watershed Foundation (DCWF) is continuing a multi-layered initiative focused on improving water quality throughout the Deep Creek Lake Watershed. \nFollowing the collection and review of data from commissioned tributary studies\, the Foundation has identified septic stewardship and wastewater management as critical priorities for protecting the long-term health of the watershed and lake. \nThis effort directly supports Goal 9 of the Deep Creek Watershed Management Plan\, which seeks to “protect the watershed from the adverse effects of impaired septic systems and ensure adequate capacity and management of public sewerage systems.” \nDCWF is currently working on several projects designed to encourage proper stewardship and maintenance of onsite septic systems to help preserve and protect water quality in the Deep Creek Lake Watershed. \nThe DCWF will hold a Community Meeting on August 3rd 2026\, at 5:30 PM at the Garrett College Performing Arts Center and will feature guest speakers. \n\nThe first speaker is Eric Null\, former Deep Creek Lake Manager and Foundation advisor\, who will address the adverse effects from failing septic systems on DCL and the watershed.\n\n\nThe second speaker is Craig Umbel\, Director of Environmental Health for the Garrett County Health Department. Mr. Umbel will discuss the types of septic systems currently being installed in the County and will provide information on what the Health Department does as an agency when a system is failing or when an increase in flow is proposed. He will also discuss the public sewer system in Garrett County\, grinder pump systems\, red light system alerts\, and how property owners can best communicate with Public Works if they have questions or concerns.\n\nThis program may be repeated on August 18 th for those unable to attend on August 3rd. \nDCWF will also explain the partnership with both Community Action and the Western Maryland Septic Company\, including the benefits to the community. DCWF encourages all residents\, property owners\, and stakeholders within the watershed to participate in this event and join in supporting efforts to preserve the health and beauty of Deep Creek Lake and the watershed for future generations. \nRefreshments will be offered free of charge. \nMeeting attendance is free of charge\, but we do request that you register so we can keep a count for refreshments! \nEveryone is encouraged to attend this valuable education-oriented session and ask the questions you have always had but lacked the opportunity to ask! \nCLICK HERE TO REGISTER FOR THE MEETING
