Septic Upgrade Grant Program
Get financial help to upgrade your septic system. Eligible homeowners may receive up to $20,000 toward replacing a conventional septic system with an advanced aerobic treatment septic system. Grant amounts are based on how much your existing system impacts the lagoon and groundwater nearest you. Drain Mechanics will also maximize your grant amount by installing the highest level of treatment system possible! This will minimize your financial input to the lowest possible, or even eliminate it entirely.

Brevard County offers grant programs to help homeowners improve their wastewater systems and protect the Indian River Lagoon. These grants are funded by the ½-cent sales tax, with added support from state and federal partners through the Save Our Indian River Lagoon Program.
Homeowners may qualify for one of these options:
Septic Upgrade Grant – Replace your standard septic tank with an Aerobic Treatment Unit (ATU), which provides advanced wastewater treatment and better protects groundwater.
Septic-to-Sewer (Quick Connect) Grant – Properly close your septic tank and connect your home to the county’s central sewer system.
Private Sewer Lateral Grant – Fix or replace cracked or leaking private sewer lines that may allow wastewater to escape.
These programs make it easier and more affordable for homeowners to modernize their wastewater systems while protecting local waterways. Use our Drop My Line Form above to check availability for your property and begin the process!
