What does operation and maintenance of a septic system involve?
There are many types of systems that are installed in Cowlitz County. Each type of system has its own attributes that need to be inspected and maintained. There are several features that most systems have in common. The first part is the monitoring of the layers of scum and sludge inside the tank. This simple monitoring and timely pumping can greatly extend the life of your system. For more information on operations and maintenance the County is offering regular presentations in cooperation with the WSU extension office.
