County residents who have pumped their septic tanks between Oct. 10, 2008, and tomorrow are eligible to enter the Calvert County Environmental Commission's Annual "Pump for the Bay" contest.
Last year's winner was reimbursed for the cost of having their septic tank pumped and won a one-night stay at the Holiday Inn in Solomons and free passes to the Calvert Marine Museum in Solomons. Other winners received prizes donated by county businesses.
The contest aims to raise homeowner awareness of the positive environmental effects of regular septic tank maintenance and improved technologies.
This year's winners will be announced after the Patuxent River Appreciation Days (PRAD) this weekend. Applications are still being accepted and may be mailed or faxed to the Department of Planning and Zoning in Prince Frederick or dropped off at the commission's booth at PRAD.
