Re: locating septic tank?

to they pick the transmitter back up?

all jokes aside sometimes you can find it where the grass is greener...

I know my aunt her tank has been moved twice that I know of.. Not sure why... I remember the first one was nothing but a wood built roof with shingles on it. I remember the pump had to be replaced. I was not around when the newer tank was put it but it's about 20Ft closer to the house and it's fully under ground. I think I know where the leech field is it always had that "smell" in that area but that was with the old tank so it might of been air blowing the smell from the not so sealed tank cover.

I always thought that was true. However in my case it's BS.
I recently had to have my tank cleaned. First time since we bought the house about 7 years ago. It wasn't too hard to find where the tank is. About 8 feet from the front of the house.
The only thing I've been able to grow in that area is moss.
I've tried numerous times to grow grass and failed every time. I've tilled, dug, put in new soil, you name it. The only thing that grows there is weeds and moss.

While we're on the subject I have some Questions?
1: What is the code in Georgia as far as how far the tank is located? I know in California it is (or was) a minimum of 15 feet from the house.
2: Why in the Hell doesn't the code require a drain pipe? Instead of digging up my lawn (or moss) whenever it needs to be pumped? In Calif. There was always a pipe sticking out of the ground to uncap and pump. KISS.

To be precise "The grass is greener over the septic tank leach-field."

If you are a plant you want to be where all the nutrients and water goes, not just a place where it is a little warmer.
