Shady Banks Civic Association

Our neighbor Bolie Soloven provided these pictures of his sewer hookup project. The pictures are in chronological order and will give you an idea of how the process works.


Front yard before excavation	Digging for the septic tank	Opening the tank

Digging trench around septic tank	Cutting feeder line from house to tank	Cleanout pipe at house end of new line

Street end of trench - note lateral connector	Installing the pipes	Another cleanout at lateral end of pipe

Pipes are all installed	Pumping out the septic tank	Decommissioning the tank

Ends of pipe are plugged and a leak test performed	After inspection, the trench is backfilled	The tank is filled with sand

The fill is compacted	Sod and mulch are replaced	And the job is done !
