Ensure your water well and septic system are in good shape. Even if not in use, they can cause water pollution if not properly maintained. Regularly inspect and repair your well and septic system to protect our drinking water sources. https://bit.ly/3QnNVnq

With a grateful heart, we wish to take this opportunity to share some news with you.

As some of you may have heard, we have decided to wind down our construction business.

When we launched Mac Taylor Corporation, we did so with a vision to deliver excellence in septic system design, installation, and site preparation. Since then, we have been grateful to get to call you customers, colleagues, business partners and friends.

This past summer, Mac dealt with a back injury, which gave us some time to reflect and consider our next steps. We recently decided that now is the time to enter the next stage of our lives, and retire from septic system installations and site preparation work. Since making this decision, we have sold our construction and service equipment, and Mac has been mentoring others in the industry.

We would like to thank you all for being a part of this journey. Whether you were a loyal customer, fellow contractor, a friendly neighbour, faithful employee, or a part of our business in some other way, we are grateful that you were a part of this journey with us.

In the future, we look forward to spending more time with family and friends, travelling our beautiful country, and may even do some septic system design and consulting work.

Thank you all for your support.

Sincerely,
Mac and Marilyn
