BTW: When I came home yesterday, I actually "Dug Out" the manhole cover. It took me 10 minutes..enough time for me to get ticked off.

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.
