IN: Last week started out bad from Monday on . Randy just got back to work , so no pay check yet , he gets paid every 2 weeks , but we had enough to fill the propane tank and get the septic tank pumped . The propane went fine , but when we had the septic tank pumped out we discovered that the septic pump inside the tank , that pumps water out of the tank into a drainage area was burned out . Without a working pump sewage water would just keep over flowing out of the tank into our yard , not a pleasant thing .

Randy will not be able to afford to purchase a new septic tank pump with his current paycheck .
