Use water efficiently. Don’t dispose of household hazardous wastes in sinks and toilets. Plant only grass over and near your septic system. Roots from nearby trees or shrubs could clog and damage the drain field. Don’t drive or park vehicles on any part of your septic system. Doing so will compact the soil in your drain field or damage the pipes, tank, or other septic system components.
