As homeowners with septic systems know, proper care and maintenance of a septic system can reduce costly repairs and extend the life of the system.

Reminding family members and guests about what not to flush down the toilet or put down a sink drain is vital to the health of the system.  

Harsh chemicals, grease, coffee grounds, medications, diapers and sanitary wipes should never be flushed down the drain. 

Visit the U.S. EPA's website for more information about maintaining a healthy septic system.
