For those who want to get their act together, Fulton County is hosting a virtual septic system maintenance workshop this week.

Not all parts of the county are serviced by public sanitary sewer systems. Attendees can expect to learn not only the basics of a septic system but also what should (and shouldn’t) be discarded down the drain and when it’s time to call a professional.
