Septic talk a holiday affair
The approaching holidays are
often stressful for people, but
how many homeowners realize
that seasonal merriment can also
stress their septic systems?
Before shopping for that
Thanksgiving turkey and those
new bath towels for overnight vis-
itors, people can make sure their
septic systems are ready for the
celebrations. The Mason County
Extension of Washington State
University and Mason County
Public Health will present a free
pre-holiday septic workshop from
6 to 8 p.m. on Monday, November
5, in the PUD 3 Auditorium, 307
West Cota Street in Shelton.
The workshop is made possible
by a grant from the Washington
Department of Ecology. Those
who attend can learn how septic
systems work and how to make
them ready for all the holiday ac-
tion during the next few months.
Entertaining increases water
use and all that extra dishwater
and toilet flushing can overload
a septic system at a time when
drainfields are already working in
soils saturated by rain. Overuse
is the main cause of costly sep-
tic system failures and overuse
may result from too many loads
of laundry in one day or from a
leaky toilet that can put an extra
800 gallons of water into a septic
system in one day.
Participants in the workshop
will learn what their systems
can handle and how to prevent
holiday, overload. Organizers of
the program make the point that
some problems have very simple,
inexpensive solutions. Partici-
pants will learn how to inspect
their systems, how to make those
simple repairs and even where to
buy the necessary parts.
And although a failed septic
system can be expensive, a new
program is now available to pro-
vide low-interest loans to many
homeowners. Experts will ex-
plain what homeowners can do
themselves and when to call in
the experts. Participants will also
receive manuals hnd other refer-
ence material to take home, in-
eluding information on what to do
and what not to do when property
floods. There will be help for ho-
meown(rs unsure of where their
septic systems are or what kind
they have.
To register or get more informa-
tion, call 427-9670 or 275-4467,
Extension 680.
