HOME OWNERS CARE GUIDE

Washing machines

By selecting the proper load size, you’ll reduce wastewater. Washing small loads of laundry on the 

large-load cycle wastes precious water and energy. If you can’t select load size, run only full loads of 

laundry. 

N.B. 

A new Energy Star washing machine uses 35 percent less energy and 50 percent less 

water than a standard model.

Watch your drains!

What goes down the drain can have a major impact on how well your wastewater system works.

What shouldn’t you flush down your toilet? 

Dental floss, feminine hygiene products, diapers, cotton swabs, cigarette butts, cat litter, and other 

kitchen and bathroom items that can clog and potentially damage septic system components if they 

become trapped. Flushing household chemicals, gasoline, oil, pesticides, antifreeze, and paint can also 

stress or destroy the biological treatment taking place in the system or might contaminate surface or 

ground waters.

Care for your Land Application System

Your land appliaction system is an important part of your wastewater system. Here are a few things 

you should do to maintain it:
•  Flush driplines regularly – every 3 months recommended 
•  Plant  only  recommended  wetland  plants  over  and  near  your  wastewater  system.  Roots  from 

nearby trees or shrubs might clog and damage the drainfield

•  Don’t drive or park vehicles on any part of your wastewater system. Doing so can compact the soil 

in your drainfield or damage the pipes, tank, or other septic system components

•  Do not build any structures over it or seal it with concrete, asphalt etc
•  Keep roof drains, basement sump pump drains, and other rainwater or surface water drainage 

systems away from  the drainfield.  Flooding  the drainfield  with  excessive water slows  down  or 

stops treatment processes and can cause plumbing fixtures to back up

•  Trees with very aggressive roots, such as willows, should be kept well away from the disposal 

system, see page 11 for list of recommended plantings

•  A soggy drainfield won’t absorb and neutralize liquid waste. Plan landscaping, 

roof gutters and foundation drains so that excess water is diverted away from 

the Land Application System

• Caring For Your Wastewater And Sewage System
