Stuff flows uphill!

We have installed a major upgrade to our septic system, in which a pump in the old septic tank diverts the effluent from flowing into the old drain field (across the street), and sends it uphill instead. At the top of the property, we have a new septic tank and new drain field. So all our old worries about overloading the original septic system are now ancient history. Flush at will!

New tank buried up the hill.

Bobby Welch and his boys did this difficult work. Good job!

Work included adding a concrete bottom to the old tank next to the house;
previously, it had only walls and a top. The septic pump required a concrete base.
