A Conventional Septic System A conventional septic system consists of a septic tank, a distribution box and a leach field. Your septic system treats your household wastewater by temporarily holding it in the septic tank where heavy solids and lighter debris are allowed to separate from the wastewater and bacteria begin to break everything down.The solids sink to the bottom and are called the sludge layer;the lighter debris such as hair, oils and grease float to the top and are called a scum layer; and the wastewater or effluent is left in the middle. This separation process with the initial decomposition is known as primary treatment. . •,ii'^ %k.•'Lir.•ii: Inspectiorr(PUMP 0u�lports ,�,:: Tee Inlet:sevrage { Scum r i' ' Ft Outlet:treated enters from house tivastnvater goes to distribution box and drain field bVasievrater Sludge After the partially treated wastewater(effluent)leaves the tank it flows into a distribution box. The distribution box separates this effluent evenly into a network of pipes called septic lines within the leach field. Small holes throughout the bottom of each septic line allow the effluent to slowly drain into gravel and sand layers where bacteria further treat and purify the effluent. This is known as secondary treatment. A properly functioning septic system purifies the effluent through primary and secondary treatment and does not pollute the groundwater. Caring for Your Septic System i 1 3 1 i Tips to Avoid Trouble DO have your tank pumped out and system inspected every 2 years by a licensed septic contractor, If the tank fills up with an excess of solids,the wastewater will not have enough time to settle in the tank.These excess solids will then pass on to the leach field, where they will clog the drain lines and soil. More information on pumping. DO keep a record of pumping, inspections, and other maintenance. Use the back page of this brochure to record maintenance dates. DO practice water conservation.Repair dripping faucets and leaking toilets, run washing machines and dishwashers only when full, avoid long showers, and use water-saving features in faucets,shower heads and toilets. DO learn the location of your septic system and leach field. Keep a sketch of it handy for service visits. If your system has a flow diversion valve, learn its location, and turn it once a year. Flow diverters can add many years to the life of your system. DO divert roof drains and surface water from driveways and hillsides away from the septic system. Keep sump pumps and house footing drains away from the septic system as well. DO grow grass or small plants (not trees or shrubs)above the septic system to hold the drain field in place.Water conservation through creative landscaping is a great way to control excess runoff. DO use only additives that have been allowed for usage in Massachusetts by MassDEP.Additives that { are allowed for use in Massachusetts have been determined not to produce a harmful effect to the individual system or its components or to the environment at large. DO take leftover hazardous household chemicals to your approved hazardous waste collection center for disposal. Use bleach,disinfectants,and drain and toilet bowl cleaners sparingly and in accordance with product labels. DON'T allow anyone to drive or park over any part of the system.The area over the leach field should be left undisturbed with only a mowed grass cover. Roots from nearby trees or shrubs may clog and damage your septic lines. DON'T plant trees within 30 feet of your system or park/drive over any part of the system.Tree roots will clog your pipes,and heavy vehicles may cause your septic lines to collapse. DON'T make or allow repairs to your septic system without obtaining the required health department permit. Use professional licensed contractors when needed. DON'T use commercial septic tank additives other than those allowed for use in Massachusetts by 1 MassDEP. These products usually do not help and some may hurt your system in the long run. i DON'T use chemical solvents to clean the plumbing or septic system."Miracle"chemicals will kill microorganisms that consume harmful wastes.These products can also cause groundwater ; contamination. I DON'T perform excessive laundry loads with your washing machine. Doing load after load does not allow your septic tank time to adequately treat wastes and overwhelms the entire system with excess I f I 1�\ Commonwealth of Massachusetts u r City/Town of No. Andover DEC 0 7 2020 System Pumping Record Form 4 TOWN OF NORTH ANDUVER �y HEALTH DEPARTMENT M DEP has provided this form for use by local Boards of Health.
