SEPTIC  TIPS
   Keep it Protected—Get it Inspected!
   Have your septic tank inspected and pumped
   out by a licensed septic tank contractor as
   needed (on average every three to five years).

   Don't Strain your Drain!
   Use water efficiently to avoid overtaxing
   your system. Fix household leaks, run
   the dishwasher and clothes washer
   only on full loads, and consider installing
   high-efficiency fixtures.

   Think at the Sink!
   Don't pour grease, fats, or harmful chemicals
   like paints and solvents down your sink.
   They can clog or harm your system.

   Don't Overload the Commode!
   Do not flush non-degradable items such
   as dental floss, diapers, coffee grounds,
   or feminine hygiene products.

   Shield your Field!
   Care for your drainfield by only planting grass,
   not driving or parking on it, and reducing roof
   and surface water drainage near the drainfield.
