Kathryn L. Farrell-Poe

If you are like most homeowners, you probably never give much thought to what happens to what goes down your drain. But if you rely on a septic system to treat and disperse your household wastewater, what you don’t know can hurt you.

This fact sheet was written as one in a series to help you maintain your septic system.
