Garbage disposals are never recommended where septic systems are used, but ifthey are installed, the system must be specifically designed to handle the waste trom them; your system can not handle the waste as designed. Please note that continued use of this disposal could quickly cause a pre-mature failure of your septic system, resulting in a large expenditure to replace it. The North Andover Ilealth Department recommends that you remove it from your home as soon as possible. Some information regarding regular maintenance of your septic system is attached. Please call the Ilealth Department at 978.6188.9540 if you have any questions, or e-mail your questions to: healthdept@hnorthandovernia.gov.
