Septic System VS Sewerage
One of the things you would want to check when buying a house is the property’s waste management. Does it have a private septic system or is it connected to the public sewer? It is best you know the difference between a septic system service and the municipal sewer. This will help you make an informed decision.
The Advantages Of A Septic System
- It is an on-site wastewater treatment system. This is great for those who are in rural areas, as there is no need to tap into the municipality’s sewerage.
- It is more cost-effective. Installing septic systems costs less in many cases compared to getting connected to the city’s sewer lines. It requires minimal infrastructure, and there are also no monthly fees or water bills to worry about.
- It is environmentally friendly. It does not use many chemicals to remove wastewater pollutants. It also helps conserve water as they add back the treated water to the ground. The liquid waste, which has now been cured from contaminants, can now be used to moisten the ground for trees and other plants.
The Disadvantages Of A Septic System
- There will be maintenance costs. Since this is a private system, you will have to shoulder the cost of the system’s maintenance and repair for deteriorating parts as well as the tank pump-outs every three to five years.
- There is the required space. To prevent damage to the septic system, it needs a dedicated portion of the property. It cannot be driven over, and no structures can be built on it.
