In Reply to: Septic Tank poll posted by steve terplak on February 01, 2016 at 03:25:32:
As mentioned in an earlier reply, Wi requires that the septic tank be pumped every three years. In my mind this is one of the stupidest rules to come down the pike. I had to have my system replaced six years ago. The lateral lines which were made of that old tar coated cardboard started to collapse. Tank was made of concrete and in good shape. When they put in the new system the old tank was left in place with the sewage running through it to the new tank. With the old 750gal tank plus the new 1000 tank I now have plenty of space to fill with sludge before there should be any problem. I live alone and there is no way in hxxx that I can produce that much sludge in three years. My shower and sink drains are disposed of by a different system.
Also as mentioned earlier by the other WI resident, a perk test is required before a septic system can be installed. There are three types of systems that can be installed. They are called conventional, at grade, and mound. Conventional is the regular type, At grade is where the laterals are placed on top the ground, and some stone and sand etc. is placed over the lines. The last and most expensive is as the name implies is the mound system wherein there is an actual mound is built up of only a specified kind of sand.
The mound system usually will cost in excess of ten thousand dollars. Some as high as twenty thousand. Hauling all that sand from a long distance away gets mighty expensive. The mound is used when you can't pass the perk test. Lucly mine only cost me $9,000 for the at grade system.

Today's Featured Article - Old Time Threshing - by Anthony West. A lovely harvest evening late September 1947, I was a school boy, like all school boys I loved harvest time. The golden corn ripens well and early, the stoking, stacking,.... the drawing in with the tractors and trailers and a few buck rakes thrown in, and possibly a heavy horse. It would be a great day for the collies and the terrier dogs, rats and mice would be at the bottom of the stacks so the dogs, would have a busy time hunting and killing, all the corn was gathered and ricked in what we c
