How long does a wastewater system last?

​
How often should I pump my septic tank?
Septic tanks are sized for a 3-year targeted pump-out interval.
​
How can I extend the life of my wastewater system?
Remember to treat your wastewater system right! Don't put garbage, chemicals or grease down your drains.

What causes a system to fail?
If solids or scum are allowed to accumulate too long in a septic tank or treatment system they overflow into the dispersal field which causes a system “to fail”.

Who is qualified to design and build wastewater systems?
In Alberta, wastewater practitioners authorized to construct septic systems are certified by the Alberta Onsite Wastewater Management Association and have a PSDS ticket issued by the Province of Alberta.
