If you have a septic tank on your property, please take care and be aware of the risks!
When checking septic system levels and operation, please do not walk on the lid of the septic system.
Never assume that the lid will hold your weight if you walk across it - and people have been known to fall in...
As tanks age, the concrete or poly materials can fatigue and fail especially when the weight of humans, livestock or machinery are placed onto the lid's surface.
If your septic tank is within a rural area and has livestock access, it is recommended to fence off the tank.
Additionally, smoking is not recommended in close proximity to septic tanks as decomposing sewage and wastewater in your septic system produces methane and other flammable gases.
