MAINTENANCE RECORDS

Practice water conservation and ensure that toilets and faucets don’t leak. Understand your design flow and try not to exceed it. For example, do laundry, using warm water and a biodegradable soap, throughout the week instead of all at once; use flow reducer nozzles on showers, install water saving fixtures.
Have your tank inspected by a Registered Maintenance Provider, clean the effluent filter annually. The tank shall be serviced every three to five years, preferably in the spring. (Frequency will depend on the number of people using the system.)
Plant grass on your dispersal area and water sparingly. Design landscaping to divert excess water away from the septic system.
Ensure that your system is large enough for your needs.
R. M. Provider shall periodically check residence for additional items like garburetors, rooms, suites as all add extra pressure to the system and will cause it to become overloaded and the system may eventually fail.

DO NOT: Allow anyone to pave, build, drive or park over any part of the system. The area over the dispersal field and replacement area shall be left undisturbed with natural cover.
DO NOT use the toilet as a trash can which can either stop the action of the tank or fill and clog your septic tank. Chemicals, paints, coffee grounds, cigarette butts, coffee grounds, cat litter, or any non-degradable products shall not be put into the system. Excessive amounts of bleach, heavy cleaners, drain cleaners can kill the bacterial in the tank and interfere with breakdown of the solids. DO NOT pour oil and grease down the drain.
DO NOT allow roof, perimeter, floor drains, water treatment device(s) or any surface
water to discharge in, on or near the sewage disposal system.
DO NOT plant trees whose aggressive roots could adversely affect the disposal system.
TO CLEAN EFFLUENT FILTER: Open hatchway access cover on outlet of tank closest to field, using rubber gloves, remove filter by twisting and pulling up, with a garden hose, wash filter allowing water to spill back into tank, reinstall filter and securely replace hatchway cover.
