DON ' TS <br /> Don't accidentally dig up an underground utility with your backhoe. <br /> Before you dig, telephone the One Call number=- and the <br /> utilities which have underground facilities in the area will come to <br /> surface mark their lines. <br /> Don't connect rain gutters or storm drains to your pressure sewer, or <br /> allow surface water to drain into it. This additional water will <br /> increase pumping costs, deplete the available capacity of the <br /> collection system and add needlessly to the daily volume of water <br /> the treatment facility has to process. <br /> Don't use excessive quantities of water. Repair leaky toilets, faucets <br /> or plumbing fixtures. Leaky toilets can waste up to 2000 gallons of <br /> water in one day. Take shorter showers, take baths with partially- <br /> filled tub. Use water saving devices or methods like reducing the <br /> flow or volume of your toilet. <br /> o As Don't flush undesirable substances into the new sewer. Flushing <br /> flammable and toxic products is dangerous, while other materials <br /> such as paper towels, rags, newspaper, cigarettes, coffee grounds, <br /> egg shells, sanitary napkins, large amounts of hair and cooking <br /> grease are a maintenance nuisance and will also increase the <br /> frequency of pumping septage from the tank. <br /> Don't dump recreational vehicle (RV) waste into your septic tank <br /> because it will increase the amount of solids entering the septic tank <br /> and the frequency of required septage pumping. RV waste dumped <br /> directly into the screened vault will clog the pump and plug the <br /> screen. Some RV waste may contain chemicals that are toxic or that <br /> may adversely effect the biological activity in your tank. <br /> Do clean the lint filter on the washing machine at least as often as <br /> the manufacturer recommends, preferably before every load. This <br /> usually takes less than a minute. <br />
