My guess is the charge is in place because of all the times the septic service has been called to pump out tanks and the cover turned out to be difficult/impossible to find.
My brother and I spent an hour and a half searching for my tank cover one hot July day about 5-years ago. We finally found it and had the tank pumped. I marked the tank cover with a cobblestone to avoid the fiasco in the future. Unfortunately, someone moved the cobblestone and now I need to start all over again this spring. I am not looking forward to the prelude to the pump and wish I could find someone to dig mine up! Based upon my prior experience, $75.00 seems like a bargain. Where do I pay?
When I find the tank this time, I plan to measure the tank off the house.....20 feet from the left hand side of the house and 10 feet out, etc.
