A Few septic hints:
- Don't use powdered soaps in washer or dishwasher, this can create a buildup and has been the culprit to a back up problem in a lot of our service calls.
- Certain toilet papers do not break up as well in a septic system and can cause backups.
- Even if it says it dissolves and is safe for septic's, it doesn't say how long it will take to dissolve!
- Don't use your toilet as a garbage can! If you put junk down the toilet, you will need to have the tank pumped more often!
Cost goes up.....
Septic disposal site has informed all pumpers of a rate hike.
Starting November 2008, the price for disposal of waste will increase .02 per gallon.
On January 2009, there will be another rate increase of .02 per gallon and .01 for the Clark County Health Dept. fee.
We regret that this will increase our cost to cover disposal and fees.
FYI....
Make sure to check the date on your notice from the health dept. They send out early and you don't want to have the inspection and or pumping, until it is actually due.

Electronic filing fee ...
The Health Dept requires electronic filing of inspections and pumping on all septic systems.
FYI....
When hiring a septic company be sure to ask if there are other costs for digging, truck and operator, inspection, filing papers, trip charge other than the cost of the pumping.
