Septic Field Information

Check out the info below and see if you are up to speed!!

Do’s & Don’ts

* Do use environmentally friendly liquid detergents for washing machines and dishwashers. * Don’t use liquid fabric softener. * Do use dryer sheets. * Don’t pour grease into drains. Grease won’t break down and will solidify in your system. * Do dispose of it in the garbage as solid waste. * Don’t use garbage disposals as a trash can. Garbage disposals are to be used for table food scraps. (ex: No corn husks, paper, meat bones) * Don’t wait until the weekend to do the whole weeks’ worth of laundry. * Do spread out the laundry over the course of the week, so you don’t over work your drain field. • Do use bleach in moderation. Large amounts of chlorine kills the good bacteria needed to maintain a

healthy septic system. * Don’t flush anything that is not septic safe toilet paper or waste down the toilet. (ex: feminine products and baby wipes) * Do remember, if it’s toxic to you… it is also toxic to the septic system.

Don’t Flush It Homeowners wanting to take good care of their septic systems should make note of the following items that should never be flushed down the drain or toilet. These items can overtax or destroy the biological digestion taking place within the system or clog pumps and pipes. Take care not to flush the following: • hair combings, coffee grounds, dental floss, disposable diapers, or kitty litter, • sanitary napkins, tampons, cigarette butts, or condoms, gauze bandages, fat, grease, or oil, paper towels, shop towels and NEVER flush chemicals that could contaminate surface and groundwater, such as: paints, varnishes, thinners, waste oils, photographic solutions, or pesticides.
