Guess it's time to pump the septic tank, we grumbled sleepily. A call to the only septic system servicing company in Jefferson County was disturbing. Jack Middlcton kindly informed me that it could be up to four days before he could fit us in his busy, yet limited, schedule. Inquiring why, Jack said the city of Madras had limited most of the pumping of raw sewage into the city lagoons and that he could only dump at the city cite once a day. His truck is equipped with a 1,000 gallon tank our septic tank capac ity is 500 gallons but most tanks are 1 ,000 gallons, which means that Jack can, most of the time, pump only one Jefferson County tank a day. What are rural homeowners and those who are on a city sewer system to do when their septic systems back up? Flush lightly! According to Jack, I could call a company in Prineville or Redmond to come to Madras and pump my septic tankthe cost would have been more than double of what Jack charges. I opted to wait for Jack be cause he's a local businessman pro viding a necessary service to a community member. Plus, he rear ranged his schedule so that he was Help available to disabled Tribal Social Services has limited money available to buy assistive de vices for tribal members who have a disability..

Shprar's Art Recent high, rushing water at Sherar's Falls produced an artistic view. able to pump our tank the very next morning. The savings outweighed the inconvenience of running to and from the neighbor's bathroom. A quick call to the Madras Public Works director Jerry Breazealc this week revealed that the city is trying to solve the problem. Jerry says the "plant cannot handle that kind of load." The limitation of dumping is only "temporary until something is done at the treatment facility." The city and County have contracted CH2MHill to study the sewage issues. The other option, Jerry said, is to not to receive any sewage at all, exactly what the city of Redmond has done. Jerry said the city has decided it is not their "obligation to accept septage" from those not connected to the city sewage system. The city and county are currently discussing what should be done. "We cannot risk wiping out our facility by taking septage from people not on our sys tem," Jerry added. Over 41 percent of the homes on the reservation are on septic tanks. And, according to Herb Graybacl, some folks in Wam Springs have had a week-long wait before their tank could be pumped, eventually finding someone in Prineville to provide the service. Herb says there is a provision in the new sewer sys tem that allows for septage dumping, however that will not happen within the next year or so. The IHS recommends that septic tanks be pumped every three years to avoid emergencies. Herb says that tank additives help digest the solid waste and may help delay having the tanks pumped so often.
