Alpharetta, Georgia – Soon, homeowners in Fulton County will have the chance to learn how to take better care of one of the most overlooked systems in their homes. County authorities are putting on a free session to help people understand how to take care of their septic systems and avoid expensive problems before they happen.
The Fulton County Public Works, the Fulton County Health Department, the City of Alpharetta, and other municipalities in the county are all working together to put on the Septic Sense Education Workshop. The virtual session is for homeowners who use septic systems and want clear, useful advice on how to keep them running securely and well.
When septic systems break down, they can cause major problems, such as damage to property and harm to nearby waters. County officials say that many of these problems can be avoided if homeowners know how to do simple maintenance and what to look for. The workshop is set up to give clear information and cut down on the inconsistent advice that locals typically get.
During the workshop, speakers from Fulton County Public Works and the Fulton County Health Department will talk about how septic systems work and the main parts that make them work. Participants will also learn how to spot problems early, know when they need professional support, and find strategies to make their systems last longer by taking care of them properly.

The session is meant to be interactive, so people may ask questions and get answers immediately from local experts. The organizers claim that the goal is not just to protect people’s houses, but also to lower the risks to the environment that come from systems that don’t work or aren’t well taken care of.
Everyone who lives in Fulton County is welcome to join the class, which will be offered online on February 25, 2026, from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. Registration is required and can be completed online.
