Other Information:
We have a moratorium on the sale of ERU’s (Sewer Connections). There is also a $90.00 inspection fee when installing a septic tank. This is a specialized tank, and you can stop by the office for a copy of the required specifications.
In the winter we do not read meters because of the snow and freezing temperatures. In the spring we average the meter reading for each month and will bill for overage (Winter Excess Consumption) at this time. This is also usually when we find leaks. At this time, if you have a leak and show us that you have fixed it, within 30 days, we will adjust your account.
Septic Tank Care:
Our users should know that it is the responsibility of the Bayview Water & Sewer District to pump the septic tanks when needed. That is the reason if you have a problem call us first. The operator keeps a regular check on the tanks, but we rely on our users to let us know if there is a problem. We clean the filters and check to see if the tanks need to be pumped. If there are any blockages between the house and the tank it is the responsibility of the homeowner. We also would like you to use as little bleach as possible because it kills the necessary bacteria that keeps your tank at optimum performance. We prefer you not use powdered laundry detergent as it forms a thick crust in the tank because it doesn’t totally dissolve.
