Pomfret — The Eastern Connecticut Conservation District, in partnership with the Pomfret Conservation Commission, will host a free workshop on septic system care and maintenance at 7 p.m. April 12 at the Connecticut Audubon Society Grassland Bird Conservation Center located at 218 Day Road.

A free septic system record-keeping file folder will be given to workshop participants to complete to create a septic system survey.

The survey can be found at: http://www.ConserveCT.org/Eastern, by clicking on "Current Projects" and then the "Mashamoquet Septic Upgrades" tab.

The survey requires no site specific information, but will help the conservation district to better understand local opinions regarding septic tank maintenance and upkeep.
