Deleon Springs/Volusia County Grant for Septic Replacement Assistance

The Volusia County Septic Upgrade Incentive Program (SUIP) was created to reduce nitrogen pollution entering DeLeon Springs. With $2.2 million in funding from FDEP, the program provides financial assistance to homeowners who replace conventional septic systems with Enhanced Nutrient-Reducing (ENR) systems.

Grant amounts are tiered based on the system type:

• Up to $14,000 for an aerobic treatment unit (ATU) certified to reduce nitrogen.
• Up to $8,000 for an in-ground nitrogen-reducing biofilter (INRB).

Funds are paid directly to approved contractors like Acme Environmental, simplifying the process for homeowners and ensuring projects are completed to county standards.

Are You Eligible?

Not every property qualifies for the program. To be eligible, your home must meet specific requirements:

• Location – The property must be in the DeLeon Springs Priority Focus Area (PFA).
• Lot type – Eligible properties include single-family homes, two-family residences, mobile homes, or nonprofit-owned sites.
• System condition – You must currently have a conventional septic system that can be upgraded to an ENR system.

If you’re not sure whether your property qualifies, Acme Environmental can verify eligibility during an initial consultation. Contact online or call (321) 468-9769 today to get started.

• Protecting DeLeon Springs – Reducing nitrogen runoff helps preserve water clarity and ecosystem health.
