[QUOTE="Perplexed, post: 4098909, member: 7157"] It’s going to depend on how many people are using the septic system, and if you use a garbage disposal regularly. The more of each, the sooner you may have to pump out your tank. The size of the tank will also dictate how long you can go in between service calls. All that having been said, my six neighbors are all on septic systems; one has lived there with his family of 4 for 10+ years and then with just his wife for 20+ years, and he’s never pumped out the tank. The neighbor across the street had no kids but a partner, and he had to have his tank pumped out twice in the 25+ years he’s lived there. Don’t know about the others, but I’ve not heard of any more honey wagons making a visit in all the time I’ve lived here. [/QUOTE]
