  • Septic tanks and wells are two different ways of dealing with wastewater. A septic tank is a tank that holds water and waste while it decomposes. A well is a hole in the ground that you use to get water from. To maintain a well, you should make sure the seal is good on your cover, keep the cover free of debris, and make sure the hose is in good condition. You should also test your water for contaminants once a year.

    Septic tanks and wells are two different types of sewage systems. A septic tank is a container that collects wastewater from homes and businesses that is not discharged into the public sewer system. A well is a hole drilled in the ground that is fitted with a pipe to bring up groundwater to the surface.Septic tanks should be pumped every 3-5 years, while wells should be disinfected and cleared of sediment every year or two.
