Conserve Water:
Address leaks, drips, and running toilets promptly to reduce water usage.
Mind Your Waste:
Avoid using a garbage disposal for food scraps like coffee grounds and don't pour fats or oils down the sink.
Dispose of Solids Properly:
Items such as paper towels, tissues, cigarette butts, wipes, sanitary products, and tampons should be disposed of in the trash, not flushed.
Protect the Septic Area:
Never drive or park vehicles over the septic field. Also, avoid constructing structures like sheds or driveways over it.
Regular Pumping:
Septic tanks should generally be pumped every two years, but this can vary based on household size and usage. Overfilled tanks can lead to system failure as scum and sludge may clog the drain tiles.
Proper Pumping Technique:
Always have the tank pumped out through the main manhole, not the smaller inspection ports, to ensure the tank is thoroughly cleaned.
