What you should know about septic systemsWhat you should know about septic systems
Septic systems aren't an especially fun topic usually, but they are an important part of everyday life for many of us on the Oregon Coast, particularly those that live outside the city limits of Astoria, Warrenton and Seaside. For those that live inside one of those cities, when they flush they don't have to give it another thought. Those that live outside of those areas must have a on-site disposal system aka septic system that's like a mini sewer treatment plant in your own backyard. A properly functioning system works without any daily intervention, and the only time you pay any attention is when there's a problem. No matter if you're living in a house that has a septic system, thinking of buying an Oregon coast home for sale with a septic system, or developing raw land that will require the installation of a septic system, the State of Oregon has some great info about the installation and maintenance of septic systems.
