Another Two Cents

Two more cents. As FEB said, we do pump uphill, but when I built in ’99, we were on well water and I had no choice. Field lines had to be something like 50’ from full pool line, 50’ or more from well, and I think at least 30’ from any drainage ditch leading to lake. The system I had to put in consist of two fiberglass tanks (I think 500 gal. each). The sewer line from the house drains into the first tank. As it fills up, liquid gravity flows into the second tank, thus keeping solids in the first tank. The pump is in the second tank which pumps the liquids uphill. I had no choice. Sometime in the future, I am going to have to dig a hole in my nice, green grass and pump the solids from the first tank. Just hope it is not in the near future. Bottom line, I too would have preferred to let gravity do it’s course. Since I had to have the well water at the time, uphill I went. Now, thanks to Mr. Henley, we are on city water and I too could fill in my well. But, since I keep it active, just in case, I would hate to do that also. This is my seventh summer and no problems. But who knows? It would be a hard choice for me, simply because I want to keep the well, just in case.
