Proper System Maintenance

DO’s:

>Pump your tank every one (1) to two (2) years.

>Use liquid detergents.

>Learn the location of septic tank and components.

>Use environmentally safe products.

>Use water sparingly and conserve. Avoid long showers and spread out laundry.

>Divert roof drains and surface water away from septic systems.

>Repair running toilets.

DONT’s:

>Dispose cigarette filters, feminine products, baby wipes, paper towels, cat litter, cooking grease or fats, and paint down drains or toilets.

>Do more than a couple loads of laundry a day.

>Use a garbage disposal

>Allow anyone to drive or park over any part of the system.
