Brevard County Offers $6K Incentives for Septic System Upgrades on Indian River Lagoon

Brevard County is offering at least $6,000 to homeowners who replace old septic systems along the Indian River Lagoon. The move aims to cut nitrogen pollution blamed for decades of algae blooms. Upgrades are required by 2030 under Florida law, and county officials say about $100 million in restoration projects, including dredging and muck removal, have already been completed.
