Nearly 24 percent of all American homes rely on septic systems to treat and dispose o f household wastewater. Government regulations make sure that these systems meet certain standards so that when they are properly designed and installed, they are environmentally safe, ac cording to water quality experts. The most important factor in keep ing a septic system operating proper ly is homeowner maintenance, so it’s important to know the basic com ponents of the system and how to keep them functioning properly. Septic systems have two key elements—a septic tank and an ab sorption system. The septic tank is usually a concrete container, sized to suit your home needs, that receives wastewater from your bathroom, kitchen and laundry room. It allows heavy particles (sludge) to settle and light materials (scum) to float, so that bacteria in wastewater between them can li quefy the waste products. The absorption system, or drain- field, consists of a distribution box, perforated distribution lines made of tile and a soil area that has the capacity to accept wastewater. This system receives wastewater from the septic tank and removes harmful, disease causing microorganisms, organics and nutrients. A few common sense precautions should keep your septic system working well over a long period of time, according to Carol Bennett. Morrow County Extension agent. It’s important to know the loca tions of all the parts of your system and to keep heavy vehicles away from them. Also, avoid planting trees or shrubs near drain tiles—their roots can clog drain lines. Be careful of what you dispose of in the toilet or in your drains. Household chemicals can destroy the bacteria in your septic tank. Garbage disposals can add unnecessary solids and grease to your system, and it is necessary to pump the tank much more frequently. Conserve water whenever possi ble and try to distribute laundry and other chores that require water use throughout the week to avoid overloading your system on any par ticular day.
