Concerned with rising nitrates, the District closely monitored the water and began looking into solutions. After many meetings, discussions, and research, the Board of Directors approved a nitrate removal facility in September 2000. This treatment facility will allow the District to place two wells back in service. The facility is scheduled to be in full operation by fall 2001. To keep the community's water supply drinkable, it is extremely important that your septic system be properly maintained.
Most people never pump their systems until they have problems, failures and costly repairs.
It is recommended to pump your septic tank at least every four years. However, if your home has a small septic tank or a large family, you may need to pump more often. Keep chemicals and other hazardous wastes out of your septic system. Some toilet bowl cleaners, such as the tablets you drop in your tank, can also destroy the bacteria in you septic tank. Read the label of any cleaning compound.
