Septic Tank Pumping -- Do you need to
TomG,
The system for prioitizing problems in Canada seems very familiar here in the U.S. as well.
I live in a rural area, and am Chairman of our county Soil and Water Conservation District.(Please be forthcomeing with the applause, it's the only pay that job provides)so I am pretty well versed in septic systems, and the elusive funding required to meet regulations.
It's a numbers issue, the larger the population of an area, the more money they will recieve. There are many reasons for this type of dispersment of funds, and I gotta say I agree with most of them when I look at the big picture. I also have no reason to believe things will change in that arrangment.
At this writing, I am currently mired in a situation in which a small town, which currently has no waste treatment facility. Now and in the past each dwelling had a septic system. Following up on a complaint, the authorities found raw sewage in a local stream that came from a main drain line from the town. There has been plenty of funding available to build a public system, the big problem is, once the system is up and running, the costs of maintinance are more than the townfolk can afford to pay. There is no assitance for maintinance available.
The old "Catch 22" as we live and breath.
Just thought you would like to know, the motto's painted on our local pumper's equipment state:
"No Turd Too Tuff!!!!"
"I have seen the enima, and they are mine!"
This is by far the best topic on the board!!!!!

Septic Tank Pumping -- Do you need to
I like the idea of a contest, but again, how could it be funded? Maybe Dennis could publish the compilation.
"Uncle Dennis's Big Bathroom Reader" would be a good title.
The pages could be .......uh.....um...torn out and used for another purpose, thus making the entire book recycleable.
This would make the book un-loanable. And it would have a shorter,let's say, shelf life, and it wouldn't be a book you would particularly want to check out of the library.
All these features would generate more sales!
Better yet, we could market Rolls of T.P. with all of the slogans in print.
Lord!!! Somebody stop me!!
We could sell this stuff to anybody, even deeply religous people have a sense of humor. It could be marketed in 10 packs as "The Dead Sea Rolls"
I guess for the people on the CTB board it would be "Compact Contact Paper"
Make the rolls wide enough and they could be used as Gift wrapping paper during the holiday season!
Then we could start marketing x-tra wide holders to mount in the bathroom!!!!
I told you guys to stop me!!!!!

Kudos' To you, Fitch!!!
Sounds like you are on the right track. There should be manholes on every tank installed these days, so proper maintinence is more apt to be followed without out major excavation scars in your property.
A proper septic system in good working order is a beautifull thing. You still do not know if your leachfield is working like it should be, solids are only half of of the battle. Bactera being the other half, but you have taken a great stride towards a safer enviroment.
For your own good health and piece of mind, you may want to investigate the location of your well in regards to the distance from the leach field. The cheapest route to piece of mind would be to at least have your tap water tested. High levels of E-coli could mean problems.
Best of luck!

Septic Tank Pumping -- Do you need to
Greece? Just what do the Greek's have to do with this? Or do you meen grease? Sorry about being so hard on spelling, I suck at it too!!!! School is starteing around here right now, and my Stepdaughter sent me an e-mail just moments ago after she found out her Drama Club is doing a play called.....you guessed it......"Greece"..... Also alerting me to the fact that I was no longer considered to be in the loop was the fact that she felt it nessasary to inform me that it was a play about how a boy and a girl in the late 50's dealt with problems of youth in their time. I guess it's time to break out the old L.P.'s from the shelf and let her know just how "cool" the old man used to be!!
But TomG, after reading a few of your posts on this subject, I do not feel alone anymore, you, and some others have an uncanny knowledge of the workings of septic systems, knowedge that I had no idea excisted outside my realm. It is a comforting thought.
I bet people like us would be a great hit at parties, while most people drone on endlessly about sports and the arts, guys like us would be discussing leachfields, paremeter drains, and other truely fascinateing subjects. It is guys like us who change the world!!
Rock on!!!!!
