The Turd Hearse cometh.
This is how you handle your shit when you live in rural America and don't have a municipal sewer system. Everything flows downhill in the plumbing to a 1000 gallon tank where the solids settle. From there the filtered effluent spills into another tank before being pumped into a mound system. Once in the mound it slowly filters back into the ground water.
Our own miniature sewage treatment plant.
Got the three year clean bill of health after having the tanks pumped and inspected.
That would be right. Every three years.
The county sanitarian requires it due to the fractured dolomite limestone bedrock that makes-up the Door peninsula.
No leaking or failing septic systems allowed.
The fella pumping the effluent out of the tanks was chatty-enough. With all the rain business has been excellent. But the stink.
All I gotta say is……Whew!
