A free, informational workshop for North Fulton County residents will offer guidance for homeowners with septic waste systems.

The Fulton County Department of Public Works will host the workshop with the cities of Alpharetta, Roswell and Milton from 7 to 8 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 29, at the Fulton Customer Service Center, 11575 Maxwell Road, Alpharetta.
