Does anyone have any recommendation as to how to prevent water from freezing in the septic line? Is there anything on the market such as electrical heat wiring that could be installed inside the septic pipe that would prevent any water from freezing? Any ideas would be greatly appreciate.

Can you explain why there is a Distrubution Box before the septic tank. I'm not famiular with that type of system.
It seems to me that having one there would be a good place for it to freeze.
