The septic system is an important piece of wastewater management in areas where homes are not connected to the public sewer system. It sanitizes the wastewater from home use and helps to keep pollutants out of drinking water and away from plants and animals. It also helps to prevent groundwater contamination and protects the environment. New York State provides detailed standards for the design and installation of septic systems, ensuring that they are built to serve the specific wastewater needs of each household while protecting the environment. Regular inspections by certified professionals and the routine pumping of septic tanks every few years, depending on usage, help to extend the life of a septic system. Additionally, encouraging the adoption of Innovative/Alternative Onsite Wastewater Treatment Systems (I/A OWTS) is an effective way to reduce environmental impacts of conventional septic systems.

Septic tank pumping involves sending a certified technician to the site with a specialized pump truck. First, they will conduct an inspection to locate the septic tank access point and determine how much sludge and scum has accumulated. Once the tank is pumped, they will inspect again and determine whether the septic system is functioning properly.

Homeowners can minimize the amount of waste that enters a septic system by conserving water, fixing leaky toilets and avoiding flushing non-biodegradable items, such as wipes and chemical drain openers. It is recommended that all households use a garbage disposal sparingly since it adds significantly to the amount of solid waste entering the septic tank and absorption field.
