Many systems get over loaded in May.I notice the pumper trucks are around a lot during April and May.A lot of early systems had steel tanks that failed when automatic washers came into use.I live in a rural village where all the steel tanks have been replaced.At least 20 systems close to me have been replaced because they failed.Fellow bought a house across the road from me.There was no trouble for 30 years.He had a lot of homeless relatives that moved in on him.The must have been 8 or 10 living there.The old steel tank system failed.He asked me what to do.I told him to open the tank a have it pumped and see if the bottom was ok.It had holes in it so a new system was put in.You are in a tough spot but it will cost money to fix it.I know a fellow who put in his septic system with a wheel barrow.He followed the plan and it passed inspection .The reason for permits is to keep faulty systems with their problems from being used.I did building inspection for 15 years here.Plumbing and septic were not part of my job but I had to have a septic plan to look at before I could issue a building permit.You can still use an out house here but you must have a site evaluators plan.Ive heard of an old milk cooler being used.One fellow used 2 wooden potato barrels as a tank.Its best to have a seperate dry well for washers and bath and sink water .The best thing for a drain field is a good grass cover.Dont mow the grass so short that it dies.I know a bit about septic systems.All learned the hard way.A frozen tank is the worst problem .I know how to fix that, just hope you never get that problem.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo. ... [Read Article]
