I was searching for new houses and found some nice ones so I was getting all excited until I saw those 2 dreaded words "septic tank"
Like, wth, the site is not in the boonies and I'm sure there is access to the city's sewage system, so why would a builder choose to have septic tanks instead?
Mind you, I'm just a novice on this topic, but apparently one needs to have the tank emptied every 3-5 years. I guess the majority of waste is emptied from the tank but some is intended to seep into one's property? Doesn't sound very appealing. It all seems like a pita vs what ppl take for granted w the city sewage system.
I don't really care about any cost savings, the main thing is not to have any added inconvenience or any nasty thing happening from a worst-case scenario situation.
Anyway, are there any proponents of septic tanks and why would ppl prefer that over city sewers?
