Did you know that you can destroy your septic system by improper use and lack of maintenance? And that it will cost you $10,000 - $50,000 to replace it?
Your septic tank is a living biological system. You can kill it by pouring chemicals down the drain. Your septic field consists of porous soil that allows the liquid effluent to slowly move into the soil to be cleaned. You can clog the pores by pouring grease, latex paint, etc. down the drain. Moreover, a failed septic system can pollute the ground water, especially important if your property is in one of the special zones that supply water to our public drinking water well and pond. You can find everything you need to know about protecting your septic system in the new educational document prepared for your benefit by the Board of Health and the Water Commissioners. Find it on the town website at: http://www.lincolntown.org/DocumentCenter/View/72106/Care-of-Septic-Systems-FINAL-1-20-22 If you have questions, feel free to contact the Board of Health or the Water Department.
