NEW - Michigan Septic Replacement Loan Program
The Septic Replacement Loan Program(SRLP), created in partnership with the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy (EGLE), provides low-interest financing to Michigan homeowners for the replacement of failing or near-failing septic systems. EGLE contracted Michigan Saves to develop and manage the program
Homeowners can access two loan tiers by working with a Michigan Saves authorized septic installation contractor: income-based financing (tier one) and market-based loans(tier two). Information collected in the loan application will determine the tier the applicant will be considered for; guidelines can be found on our website. For both tiers, actual rates, terms, and loan amounts may vary based on factors collected during the loan application.
