Liquid Waste - cont'd.
Question - How far must a septic system
be from one's well?
Answer - As far as 1 know it must be
100 feet away. That is why small
properties with a drilled well would
require a holding tank system rather
than a septic system.
Question - What problems could arise
if a spetic tank is not pumped when
it should be?
Answer - The weeping bed can become
plugged, ruining the weeping
system and requiring its possible
replacement. Landscaping expenses
could be high as well. If left too
long the sludge build-up could boil
up through the ground and cause a
real health hazard. There is also
a possibility of the drinking water
becoming contaminated.
Question - What does it cost to pump
a septic tank or holding tank?
Answer - To pump a septic tank would
cost on the average of $40 - $45.
Difficult circumstances could increase
the rate a little. The cost to pump
a holding tank would depend on the
size of the tank, but usually it is
around $45.
Question - What does a modern tank truck
cost in your business?
Answer - The cost is astronomical
with present interest rates. The
average new tank truck would cost
$70,000. at least.

Question - Do you have
any advice for resi-
dents at this time
of year?
Answer - People should
have their systems
pumped before the
winter sets in, if
they know it hasn't
been pumped within
the last three
years or so. it's
better to pay a
little now and save
a lot later.
