DO
- Be mindful of the amount and brand of toilet tissue you use. (Cottonelle, White Cloud and Northern are recommended.)
- Have your tank cleaned regularly to remove sludge and greases before they cause a problem.
- Make sure to use an oxygen-based bleach such as Clorox II.
- Read the labels on your detergent to ensure that they are biodegradable and low-sudsing.
Use less water by installing water saving showerheads and aerators on faucets. Adjust toilets to flush with less water and use a front-load laundry machine.

- Let anyone drive heavy vehicles, such as cars or trucks, over any portion of the septic system.
- Plant shallow rooted trees, such as willows or soft maples, near the system.
