Septic System Care: A Reference Guide for Homeowners
Caring for Your Septic System
(Conventional Septic System, Innovative/Alternative (I/A) System, or Cesspool)
The accumulated solids in the bottom of the septic tank should be pumped out every three years to prolong the life of your system. Septic systems must be maintained regularly to stay working.
Neglect or abuse of your system can cause it to fail. Failing systems can
* cause a serious health threat to your family and neighbors,
* degrade the environment, especially lakes, streams and groundwater,
* reduce the value of your property,
* be very expensive to repair,
* and, put thousand of water supply users at risk if you live in a public water supply watershed and fail to maintain your system.
Be alert to these warning signs of a failing system:
* sewage surfacing over the drainfield (especially after storms),
* sewage back-ups in the house,
* lush, green growth over the drainfield,
* slow draining toilets or drains,
* sewage odors.
