There are many things you should do to ensure the efficient operation of a home's individual wastewater treatment facility, commonly known as a septic system.

• Have your septic tank pumped every 2-3 years, depending on the number of people in the household
• Repair leaking toilets and dripping faucets
• Maintain a ground cover of grass over the leach field
• Address potential signs of trouble: slow draining toilets, sewage odors, surface water in the leach area
• Divert gutter drains and surface water away from your septic system
• Use a reputable contractor to perform repairs to your system

You should NEVER:

• Park on or drive over your septic system
• Dig into your leach field or build anything on top of it
• Plant trees in the leach field because their roots can disrupt and eventually clog leach lines
• Dump chemicals or non-biodegradable items into your septic system
• Connect a sump pump discharge to your septic system
