About This Program

The Grant Map catalogs Ohio EPA WPCLF Home Sewage Treatment System (HSTS) Program in its Akron, OH research directory. The record carries audience tags for homeowners; those tags do not establish eligibility or current service coverage.

Ohio EPA's WPCLF program provides principal forgiveness loans to Local Health Districts, which pass savings to homeowners needing to repair or replace failing septic (home sewage treatment) systems or connect to public sewer. The lowest-income households can receive 100% of costs covered. Approximately $10.1 million was reserved for HSTS projects in program year 2025.

At federal poverty level: 100% forgiveness (free). At 200% FPG: 85% forgiveness (15% homeowner match). At 300% FPG: 50% forgiveness. Contact your county health district to determine your tier.
